What Causes Persistent Calf Pain?

Hi, I was on a relativly long car trip to philidelphia from North Carolina this weekend, ans since getting off the bus, I ve been having pain in my calf when I stand and walk after being stationary for more than about a minute. After about 5 minutes of walking my leg feels fine. However, the pain returns when I am stationary again. Is this something i should be concerned about?

Hi,

Persistent calf muscle pain is most likely due to vitamin D and B12 and calcium deficiency. Take proper supplements, plenty of fluids. If this does not sort out your problem, else get a colour Doppler done if pain persists.

Thank you. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
