4 year old calf injury
I am having a calf injury (possibly DVT but not sure) .
About 4 years back I got a sudden pain in my calf while taking a walk( My body was possibly in its weakest form at that time, I was not eating well and used to drink.) .Since then no treatment worked(C4 Laser plus, russian therapy) pain and leg weakness is still there upto the hip. No doctor has been able to tell me what the issue is : musculoskeletal OR veins.

Muscle weakness and pain in calf since 4 years suggests nerve compression in your lower back. For ruling out vein issues venous echo would be required which can be suggested by cardiologist.
Next Steps
Kindly visit cardiologist for checking if it's venous issue. If that's ruled out then you will need to visit nearby physiotherapist for further evaluation and treatment.
Health Tips
Avoid hot packs on leg or back. Avoid forward bending movements from back. Avoid weight lifting from floor.
