A doctor has provided 1 answer
Patella dislocation: In view of the associated severe calf pain, I suspect a separate entity like severe calf strain or development of acute popliteal tendonitis. In any event I recommend getting off your leg with use of crutches and being evaluated &treated by an orthopedic specialist. In the meantime, rest,elevate the leg, apply cold compresses to painful areas of knee & calf for 20 minutes periodically.
