I have a semi constant pain that feels like a charley horse in my right calf. should i be concerned? could it be from plantar faciitis?

Possibly: If you have had fasciitis and are compensating enough to strain your calf, a Charley horse can occur. A Doppler can help to rule out a blood clot. See your local dr
