Sharp pain in calf muscle (reply)

No heavy exercise or jumping or extreme walking. But only sharp pain on sides on calf muscles was observed suddenly and hurt a lot when walking or even standing. But as suggested by various doctors ice pack treatment did work to a great extent. Also a little easy stretching exercises are being done. Now there is reduction in pain and less strain. Thank you all doctors for your kind observations & suggestions!

Keep continuing your calf stretching exercises and ice pack therapy for a week. Don't over do the stretching exercises to avoid strain.

I would recommend that you visit a good physiotherapist around your area so that you can get your muscles assessed..  It would be a muscle strain mostly while can be released with different techniques used by a physio
Next Steps
Keep icing till you meet the physio. This will atleast give you some relief
Health Tips
Don't do any activity which aggregates it..

Do calf stretching for more couple of weeks. Need proper history as well. Need to do proper assessment and examination of your problem. There can be different reasons of the problem. It can be due to over stretching. Or over use of muscle. Need to check with your foot wear. Posture issue.

Few more recommendations : - foam roll the calf muscles and the arch of the foot - use of proper footwear to ensure good walking mechanics - drink adequate fluids and electrolytes (deficiency can lead to cramps and pain) - light strengthening for calf to develop muscle endurance
