Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Recurrent Tightness In The Calf And Hamstring Muscles?
I am concerned because I keep getting very tight calf and hamstring muscles. Stretching helps a little but the tightness returns quickly. I also have a feeling of fatigue in my legs and feet and back. I work at a job where I have to stand for about 4 hours at a time with no opportunity to sit down which can be very difficult.
As per your history of injury while doing exercises, there is possibility of pathology to hamstring tendon or muscle. I will advise you to do Ultrasonography and if required MRI.
You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and matrix therapy will give quick healing of tissue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Vaibhav Gandhi
