Need help! very tight calf muscles!!!!

(2 discussions)

Hi there, i need help, i get terrible tight calves whenever i walk they feel like they are going to explode!when i stop the pain lasts for about 15 mins and they become very tender and sore to touch, and the pain can go from my calf to the bottom near the ankle it just feels like it is really stretched! Anyone got any ideas of what this could be? Also I have developed a boney bump on the side of my knee this is not sore but its noticeble!

    thanks for your information turls, i had an appointment a couple of days ago with my doctor, he dosent know what the problem is with my calves, hes ruled out that there is no blockage anyway, so thats a relief! And now i am waiting for an appointment with a physio, who hopefully can find out what this problem is!!!

    sounds like lateral compartment syndrom to me! this is where pressure in the calf muscle builds up and up until it becomes very painful. its caused by the calf muscle becoming too big for its out layer which covers the muscle. you need to do some stretching exercises on the calf and light massage can help lossen the out cover of the calf. ice the muscle for around 10 mins will help to releive the pain but it may not remove the problem! if problems persist see a physio or doctor asap!
