Leg pain: There are a lot of reasons for calf tightness. Obviously you may have a muscular tear, tendinous injury or tear, neurologic issues concerning the peroneal nerve, spinal pathology causing lumbar radiculopathy, and most concerning would be Venous thrombosis.

I sprained my left calf muscle 14 weeks ago. By the end of the night, it is tight and a little swollen compared to the right one. I had an ultrasound done a month ago and no clots were present. What is causing this?

I run and bike for exercise. For the last couple years my groin has been getting very tight and I sometimes get a sharp pain when trying to lift my leg. It feels like a muscle pull. I can stretch and it feels better after warming up. I stretch freque?
