hi,
according to the symptoms u have mentioned, it seems u r getting calf muscle spasm. do u play baseball regularly or it is just that day u played for d whole day? if ur muscles r not accustomed to regular exercise,then sudden exertion can cause muscle spasm and muscle soreness. many of d time dehydration associated with exertion adds on to d muscle cramp. drink enough water to maintain good hydration. hot fomentation ll also help a lot. adequate rest and slight leg elevation, and ur pain ll get relieved. u can also take tablet paracetamol if pain is unbearable
