After going through your query I came to know that you are having throbbing left calf constantly. It may be due to vitamin and trace elements deficiencies. You can take vitamin and trace element supplements like Evion LC . For pain relief you can take analgesics(you are already taking). Rest is advisable.

Again, it may be due to vitamin and trace elements deficiencies.
Second possibility is muscular strain. Again treatment is rest and analgesic.
Third possibility (less likely) is of deep vein thrombosis which can be investigated by Doppler ultrasound of calf or Venography of left lower limb.
You can discuss with your Doctor about it.
