Calf Tightness
My calves have both been really tight for the last 24 hours. I have tried to stretch them but there was no improvement. When I walk it causes discomfort. I have tried massaging them after icing them but still no improvement. Please suggest some ways to make them less tight, or to help reduce the discomfort
