Calf muscle knot

(3 discussions)

I have run for exercise for over 20 years.
I am in my mid 40’s. Last month I developed a muscle spasm on my upper left calf that occurs early during my run and is debilitating.
I’ve rested it for a few days and also a week, but it returns after 3 to 8 minutes into the run.
Suggestions?

    One year ago I was diagnosed with a nerve damage on my right leg, now my pains and aches have gone and now I am left with calf muscle pains. sometimes I am just resting with my legs up and as I stretch I get a muscle knot right on my calf muscle, my doctor prescribed celebrex 200mg twice a day but they are not working. What causes muscle knots? Iam a really active person, I lift weights and play soccer, but I have never experienced this before.

      I don’t know if what I have is muscle knot, but, out of the blue four yrs ago, I started having awful pain in my right leg. The pain would last for just a few minutes, on and off and only occurs at nite, strange as that sounds. In the daytime, I could run a marathon, no pain. I have had every test and all comes back normal. Has anyone ever heard of this?Would appreciate any comments. Thank you,[email protected]

    What causes my thigh to above my ankle to be knotted up and with pain severe pain especiall at night it gets worst. I was swiming 4 afternoons a week walking a trail 3 times a week now I can barely walk I have to use a grocery cart to go in the stores. The vascular sergeon said it was not circulation related.
