A member asked:
I had a tibial stress fracture about a year ago, but now i feel my calf muscles tight whenever i run (esp. long dist) and sometime ache for few days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its understandable.: Keep exercising to stretch the muscles daily and I am sure the tightness would subside eventually. It just needs time and patience. Keep up with the exercises.
