A member asked:
I keep getting an ache in my right calf when walking, have for a few days, and it feels better at rest. what could be a cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle strain: Likely a pulled calf muscle, im assuming there is no swelling of the calf or foot. If there is you should see your md for a possible ultrasound to rule out a blood clot otherwise ice and anti inflammatories and time should suffice.
