How to treat knee calf ankle pain?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Gastroc muscle: If the pain is through the back of the knee and extending into the calf and back of the ankle it may be gastrocnemius muscle strain. It would be best to see a doctor to be able to specifically pin point the area of pain and then treat.

Instability: An orthotic or ankle brace may help to stabilize your feet and reduce the pain.
