What Causes Leg Aches In Calves?

I recently have been having pain in the back of my calf on the outer side of my right leg. This has been sporadic. On the foot of the same leg, the last 2 toes have been numb and now I am experiencing a warm sensation down the top right side of that same foot. I am concerned that this is a sympton of what may be going on in the calf of my leg.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

It may be a symptom of partial blockade of blood supply to the affected area, or due to the nerve injury to the specific area.

Please consult a Neurologist for complete evaluation and treatment.

If I was your treating physician I would have prescribed you Gabapentin 300mg 1 tablet by mouth and Ibuprofen 800 mg by mouth once daily.

Hope I answered all of your questions. In future, if you need further, detailed and quick assistance on any health issue, feel free to click on 'Ask me a question' directly from my profile. Have a wonderful time ahead.
