A member asked:

Calf muscle pain after seizure, should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stretch: During a seizure a person can have very intense muscle contractions throughout their body. It can strain and exhaust the muscles. If your calves are sore you can try gently stretching them. If its very painful you can try some tylenol (acetaminophen) or massage some vic's or bengay into the sore areas.
