As per my opinion ma’am,it could be gastrocnemius muscle weakness.Just try doing some hot fermentation ie apply hot pack on your calf muscle for 10 mins thrice daily.Post hot fermentation apply anti inflammatory gel available at home eg noob ,volini gel .If you start feeling better in 3-5 days,it’s good and otherwise consult a senior physiotherapist soon as you may be requiring some advanced treatment for cure.Avoid walks and prolonged standing for some days and wear comfortable shoes.Vitamin D3 and calcium deficiency also trigger this sought of pain . Thanks, take care
