A member asked:

Even while at rest, i get a sharp throbbing pain in lower calf. pain is tolerable. no physical activites. last a few secs & started 1day ago any help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Evaluation, PT: Sounds you might have an Achilles tendinitis but I would definitely follow up with a local Podiatrist. At this point I suggest you rest, ice, take over the counter anti inflammatory medication. Physical therapy might be in order.
