Can plantar fasciitis cause pain/cramping in calf?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Overuse of: Most definitely, especially if you have begun to compensate for the heel pain by not putting weight on the heel properly. The lifting of the heel to keep it of the ground is causing the calf to fatigue and start cramping. You need to consult a specialist about treating the fasciitis.

Yes: Plantar fasciitis can produce or worsen calf muscle cramping and Achilles tendonitis. These may all be related to the same underlying process that produces and continues plantar fasciitis..
