Hi
Thank you for your question.
Calf pain and radiation to the front of foot is a common presentation of nerve pain. If the pain is just an irritation you may choose not to do anything about it. If it gets worse or increases in frequency or limits your daily functions get an MRI of lumbar spine done. Also if you are diabetic keeping blood sugar under control is helpful.
Wish you the best.
