I have recently started playing sport again after 7 years football (soccer). i have serious leg pain in my calfs and knees while running. what do i do?

Take it slow: Be sure you stretch often and a lot before any exercise. Take it slowly since you have not been physically active for seven years. If the pain is not improving with rest, stretching before exercise/activity, and even trying some otc nsaids to decrease inflammation, then seek a medical exam. Best wishes.
