A member asked:

Cause of warming sensation specific to one area of calf muscle. comes and goes not warm to touch however the entire muscle feels crampy when touched?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get ultrasound: It is reasonable to get an ultrasound to rule out blood clot when someone has pain in the calf region, especially when the pain is only on one side. Infection of the skin should also be considered. Your doctor can evaluate and treat for these possible causes.
