Mini Calf Cramps
A few times a day my right calf will have what i'll call a "mini cramp" for a few seconds. For perspective, I've had calf cramps in the past from exercise, and on a pain scale I would rate at a 9/10. These "mini cramps" i'd rate at a 3. There is no redness, swelling, or additional heat on my calf or leg. Semi-active but do have a desk job, I get up and walk multiple times during the day. 29 years old, non smoker. wondering what this could be?
