A member asked:
Left calf pain about 1 week. sudden onset and not better w/rest, heat, ice, or massage. no recent surgery or strenuous activity. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be seen: There are multiple possibilities, many of which are quite benign; but when you talk about the sudden, a traumatic onset of calf pain you always need to consider the possibility of a blood clot which is potentially life threatening and so I would encourage you to be seen to have this ruled out.
