Be cautious: If you have injured your calf, be sure to rest and avoid intense activity until healed. Avoid future injury by doing warm up stretches, and returning to more intense activity gradually.

Pain in this area may come from medial tibial stress syndrome (mtss), stress fractures, or compartment syndrome.
