Feeling Of Cramp In Calf, Tightening Of Muscle. Any Ideas?
I've been having this feeling in my calf as if its going to cramp up, but it doesnt..been like this for about a month. When I run it doesn't start hurting until after like 5minutes. then it feels like a tightening of the muscle and it hobbles me. I can continue running but I think its the adrenaline that allows me to do so.
