When i stretch, i experience my calf muscles tightening and the pain is excruciating as it increases, what is it?

DO YOU WEAR HEELS?: WEARING HEELS CAUSE THE CALF MUSCLE TO SHORTNEN. SUGGEST ISOMETRIC STRETCH WHICH, OVER TIME MAY RELAX THE GASTROC-SOLEUS TENDON. DON'T OVERDO IT WHICH MAY POTENTIALLY RUPTURE SOME FIBRES
