A member asked:

Hyperextended extended my knee 3 weeks ago my calves hurt a little bit what does it mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likely you have: pulled or sprained the calf muscles which are normally going across the knee joint. With Stretching & strengthening exercises, they should improve over next 3-4 weeks, and less painful as they improve. Good luck.
