What Causes Pinching And Pain In My Upper Calf Muscles?

Yesterday leaving work i felt several pinches on my upper calf near the crease.. Later on that night I found maybe 6 bumps in that same location with pain and swelling and not to mention itching .. So today it s pretty swollen and kind of painful when I walk. So my question to you is what is it and what can I do ?

your symptoms suggests that you have acute spasm of gastroenamius muscle or hamstring muscle . Take analgesic such as ibuprofen ,muscle relaxants and hot fomentation over painful area.It will decrease pain. After 3-4 days when pain subsides start hamstring and gastroenamius muscle streching exercises .

Hope this helps.
