Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Severe pain in the calf muscles if it's radiating from your back could be due to sciatica. If you don't have any back pains then other causes like deep vein thrombosis, or muscle spasm due to electrolyte imbalance or rhabdomyolysis etc should be ruled out .consult your doctor for proper diagnosis.
Thank you
