I was diagnosed by ER doc as suffering from sciatica with caveat that my acute pain focus was in my calf and ankle, so severe requiring 2 doses of 2 different IV pain medications. Other causes like blood clots and muscle wasting disease were eliminated by tests. Three weeks later, I still have calf pain although only about 1 - 3 on the pain scale. I have tried to walk regularly and also started to do stretching exercises. Since I still have calf pain, should I hold off on the stretching? Could the remaining calf pain warrant additional investigation like a neurology exam?
