Question: For about a week now I have been experiencing intermittent pain in the calf of my leg (right leg only) I have had back problems over the years, the most recent being a compression fracture about 5 yrs. ago. This pain seems to be in the muscle. Strangely enough, I get more relief standing rather than sitting or lying. I also get some relief with ibuprofen or mild narcotic (hydrocodone 7mg/325mg.)
