Extreme pain in your calf is not a sign of RA .
But yes it must be a low B12
Kindly ice and warm packs for 5 mins twice a day
And take paracetamol if pain doesn’t get relieved.

Extreme pain in the calf muscles could possibly not RA flare up
Next Steps
You could take a painkiller and muscle relaxant shot at the nearest emergency
Health Tips
But continue with the oral medication for RA which included a tapering dose of steroid, anti inflammatory meds along with folic acid as a substitute
