I have had a sore leg but i am experiencing pain in the calf and the achilles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can examine: Aches and pains can happen with repeated stress to a body part. For workers, it can be called a work injury. In sports, it's called an overuse injury. One's primary care doctor can evaluate to see what needs to be done. If there has been no overuse or sports injury, but a calf hurts or is swollen, one's doctor will check to be sure there isn't a leg blood clot (which is serious and can be fatal).
