Several Things: Overuse injury to calf muscles would be at the top of my list. Could also be a superficial phlebitis or inflammation of the superficial veins in the calf (which can cause pain). Thing like shingles come to mind if any rash present. As you can see the list can be rather long. A good history and exam would be helpful. No DVT is a good thing. Consider PT eval and tx.

Calf pain: sounds mostly like a muscle strain, and the reason why its causing more discomfort in the morning is because of inactivity during the nighttime.. If it still problematic I would recommend seeing an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine. This could occur as result of vigorous muscular activity.

Lately Ive been having calf pain. Feels like a sore pain that I sometimes feel when I walk and its a bit tender . No other symptoms. Im 18 years old and scared it might be DVT. Thoughts ? I got an ultrasound, is it possible it missed deep clots?

Tight/crampy/pain calf, inner knee & thigh. Doc examined leg and said she didn't see anything that would suggest DVT. What else could it be? Back of knee was sore when doc examined. Feels worse when sitting for a while. Had it for a few days. Thanks!
