A member asked:
It feels like i have a nerve injury in my upper calf (doesnt feel muscular). is there such a thing, and could running cause it? could it be dvt??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptoms?: It would help if you describe your symptoms and not your conclusion that it is nerve injury. From what you describe it is likely to be muscular injury. It would not be feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. If your symptoms do not resolve in a coupe of weeks, do see a doctor.
