Leg pain and no energy
In may 2015 i injured my right calf muscle. when I started working 8 hrs a day climbing a step ladder. The pain became so bad i had to ask to sit at work. They discovered a partial tear of the peroneal muscle. Before the diagnosis,I started experiencing shortness of breath,heavy legs, excessive sweats at minimal effort and diziness. This happens everytime I work on a ladder or climb a lot of stairs. I've had cortison injection, deep tissue massage and physio resulting in exhaustion 2 days later
