I have had recurring calf pain recently. today it's in the left leg only, and it's so tight i'm limping. i barely do anything so i know it's not from exercise. maybe from nursing baby sitting cross legged? i don't know how to get rid of it?

Get checked by MD : Leg pain especially after childbirth or pregnancy or sedentary lifestyle... can pose risk of DVT ( deep venous trombosis) . It’s very important to see urgently doctor . Ultrasound is test of choice to rule out this condition !
