A member asked:
Achy & pinching pain in calf muscle that comes & goes. feels good when i stretch it out. is it a blood clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: Classic findings with blood clot is increased pain and tenderness with stretching of the calf muscle. If the stretching of the gastrocnemius and solieus muscles improves the discomfort than that would be evidence against a blood clot
