A member asked:
My right calf and arch are extremely tight and my knee and shin hurt a lot and i have not done anything strenuous all week what could it be ?

Be seen: There are a number of potential causes including problems in the leg itself or even an irritation of a nerve in the back. But if your leg feels tight and/ or swollen without injury I would be seen just to make sure it is not a blood clot, which is potentially life threatening.
