What causes knots in the back of your legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle cramping: Knots in the calves are usually caused by muscle cramping which may be tight to begin with. Preventive measures include stretching and ensuring that you are not deficient in calcium, magnesium or potassium. Discuss this with your physician if frequent muscle cramping persists.
