SUSHANTA Question by SUSHANTA on Jan 09, 2026Hindi
Health

I feel pain while walking in bottom of my left leg particularly in back side. I request for your kind advice.

Ans: Hello Sushanta. Thank you for your query. Sorry to hear about your condition. Pain at the back of the lower leg while walking may sometimes be related to strain of the Achilles tendon, especially if the discomfort is near the heel or just above it. This can occur due to overuse, tight calf muscles, sudden increase in walking activity, or improper footwear. Gentle calf stretching, avoiding excessive walking for a few days, and applying ice for 10–15 minutes may help reduce the pain. However, it is important to get the area properly assessed to confirm the cause. I would strongly recommend visiting a nearby physiotherapist for a detailed evaluation and appropriate exercises or treatment plan.. I wish you a very quick recovery
