Calf muscle cramping & pain

After running, I suffer from a kind of cramping/tingling/aching in my lower calf muscles. It can last up to 2 days after a run. My physio says it’s probably muscular & vascular related. It is slightly relieved if I stretch my calf muscles with my foot on a chair, instead of flat on the ground. I suspect my Achilles tendon may be involved, but can’t link the two in anything I have read. Has anyone else suffered something similar?

    If you get some relief when stretching on a chair, then I would guess that soleus might be too tight. Especially If you are getting tingleing, which means nerve compression from a big tight muscle.
    Try this site, you can get a cheap book that will show stretches for the entire body.
