Calf pain: can be several things:
1. tingling and numbness usually represent nerve pain - the sural nerve runs behind the calf muscle and could be pinched
2. the pain in the arch could be tednonitis - the posterior tibial tendon - when injured it can cause deep calf soreness and arch pain especially behind the ankle area.
3. tarsal tunnel syndrome
I would suggest you see a Podiatrist or Foot & Ankle doctor
