Back pain: Back pain associated with left calf pain suggests nerve root irritation of the lumbar 5 or sacral 1 nerve root. Other causes of calf pain may include a blood clot or a side effect of medications. Please see a medical doctor to establish a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan to reduce the back and calf pain.
