Ache cramp like feeling in left calf

2017-05-09 05:32:23
Calf started feeling like it was going to cramp after leaving house for work but never did. Was on my feet all day at work and pain felt like it was subsiding. Got home from work and it is back and more painful. It aches more when i flex my foot upward. Have been home sick for 2 days day before yesterday and wasnt very active. And havent done anything to pull a muscle or cause an injury. It jus feels like a dull cramp and ache

Hello there Well there are multiple reasons for cramps in the calf. Sometimes certain sterneous activity may strain the calf...or some time more serious thrombosis problem may be there. Is your calf painful to touch for even if low preassure is put by fingers? Has your calf become shiny and swollen? Do reply back with answers as these are important signs. Regards
