You may need: to get checked for a blood clot or muscle injury. Given the amount of activity you put your calves through, and hydration, I doubt it is from sedentary lifestyle or dehydration :) Go see a healthcare provider to get tests and if they are all negative, keep walking and being active!! I love it !!

Hi, I keep getting a cramp in my left calf when i walk for approx 10 mins and have to stop, the pain is also to the front of my lower left leg?
Left calf has swelling that goes and comes. Doctors did sonogram and ruled out dvt. Said it can be a muscle spasm. Walk alot, minimal cramping in calf?
I was standing for a long time yesterday (3pm-3am) and I noticed really bad leg pain in both legs. Walking to my car I almost couldnt walk. Today my left leg feels cramps and achey. Is this DVT? Or muscle related? Pain comes and goes?
