Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Most commonly low leg and calf pain are due to Iron deficiency, Calcium and Vitamin D deficiency. But we need to rule out following possibilities;
1. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) episode.
2. Peripheral Neuropathy
3. Disc Prolapse.
4. Rest Less Leg Syndrome (RLS)
I need to know following details:
1. Since when are you having this pain?
2. What all medicines are you taking?
3. Is the pain intermittent or persistent?
4. Do you get up in night while sleeping just because of pain?
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me and revert with the asked details for a better help.
Stay Healthy.
