? treatment: I don't understand why Decadron (dexamethasone) is used for calf pain. It appears that you are suffering from rare side effects of high-dose cortisone. You should call your doctor and report these side effects. Perhaps you should consult an orthopedic doctor specialized in pain management to manage your pain.
