A member asked:
Hello, i am a avid basketball player..but it seems that my left leg is somewhat swollen..it's cramps up often and my achilles hurts a bit.

I would advise you : To see a doctor. Anytime there is calf pain with swelling a blood clot should be ruled out....that is a serious life threatening problem if it exists. Once this is ruled out other things to consider include achilles tendonitis ....
