A member asked:

Calf muscle hurts when running?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do not ignore: this may be a gastrocnemius muscle strain tor micro-teat; however, your must get a doppler study of your lower extremities ( venous and arterial doppler) - must be examined, evaluated, studied, diagnosed and treated. No running until cleared by physician.
