There are some conservative options such as:
-Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) is good for immediate treatment of muscle issues in the first 48 to 72 hours after you notice tightness and pain. Try using an ice pack for 20 minutes every two hours while resting and elevating the leg.
-Over-the-counter medications
Over-the-counter pain medications may relieve any pain you have.
-Physical therapy
If your calves are chronically tight, you may want to try physical therapy. A physiotherapist can prescribe customized stretches, exercises, and other treatments to help with anything from pain to muscle imbalances.
-Massage therapy
Massage therapy is another option. A massage therapist uses their hands to manipulate the bodyâs muscles and soft tissues, helping with anything from pain to muscle tension
if these methods dont seem to provide adequate relief an orthopaedician examination would be needed to rule out any other possible conditions
