What Is That Knots In Calf Muscles Which Is Painful?
I have had knots in my calf muscle for years but it has gotten progressively worse. Sometimes it is hard to walk very long without having to sit down. Sometimes the pain is really great and sometimes it is not. When the pain is there it also causes some pain in my upper leg and hip. I have had the vain and artery check which they say is ok. I also stretch my calves which does not seem to help. I also have plantar facetious.

Hello,
Did you mention in history about the knots? is it varicose veins? Have you got your doppler done for the veins and arteries? Once checked we can find out if it is the cause for knots in the calf.
Now coming to your plantar fasciitis, I would recommend you to do hot water fermentation and some balance board exercise. Usually, people have abnormal gait due to plantar fasciitis which can lead to additional biomechanical changes in the muscular system.
Doing balance board training should help improve muscle Imbalance and improve the strength of the muscles.
Most of my patients with plantar fasciitis response well to balance board training.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
