Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had some constant pain in my right leg. its located on the right side of my foot but gets some tightness up behind the calf area. It s not a painful pain but is uncomfortable. It sometimes make it difficult to pressure on to walk. Can you tell me what this can be ?
see this tightness on calf muscle you are feeling can be a muscle cramp that last for few second to minutes. It can because of long standing, exposure to cold temperature or due to dehydration in a normal healthy person.
Whenever it happens try to stretch the calf muscle . - If you are sitting then straighten your leg and flex your foot up toward your knee. - If standing then lean forward against the wall. Keep the knee of the affected leg straight and the heel on the ground. - take plenty of fluids. It will help you out.
Good Luck
