Can my calf problem cause trouble anywhere else?
You may feel some pain in the muscles around your knee, ankle or foot. This should improve as your calf problem gets better.
Occasionally, problems felt in your calf can be due to a back problem; even though you do not feel pain in your back. People with this sort of problem often describe the pain as pins and needles, sharp, hot or burning pain, usually in the back of the calf.
If you experience these for longer than one week, you may need to speak to your doctor.
