Stiffness takes some time to go. With regular exercises and hot fomentation, it can go away gradually.
Next Steps
It is advisable to do flexibility exercises for both hamstrings and calf along some strengthening exercises for your calf muscles.
Health Tips
Advisable not to do any activity that can cause repetitive strain or overuse of the muscles.
