PAIN IN RIGHT BACK SIDE OF CALF SINCE 7 DAYS, TAKING PAIN KILLER AND GAS TABLETS HAVE NO EFFECT, WHAT TO DO???

Ans: Hi Ravi,

Thank you for writing to us.
The pain in your back and your neck is both related to your spine so it’s best to go to a nearby orthopedic or physiotherapy and they will examine your lumbar and cervical to get a clear diagnosis. You should be able to recover in a week or two

Ans: Hello Shekhar,
Have you done your back MRI?
Have you done Ultasonography for the right calf muscle?
Is the pain there all the time like even during sleep you feel the pain and it disturbs your sleep?
Did the physio do techniques like myofascial release or dry needling with you for the calf muscles?

Ans: Hello Arjun,
How did the pain start? Have you done your blood tests especially for Vit D3 and Vit B12? What other investigation have you done to understand the cause of the calf pain? Is it both calves or only one? When is the pain more? Morning when you wake up or after walking or at night while sleeping?
What has the Dr given as cause of the calf pain?

Ans: Hi Shweta . Since I dont have specific details regarding your age , I would say night time calf pain could stem from various causes, such as muscle cramps due to dehydration or electrolyte imbalances, peripheral artery disease (PAD), nerve compression, or even deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The pain might be related to nerve compression or circulation issues. It’s crucial to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, as they may recommend tests or imaging to determine the exact cause. If the doctor determines that the pain is purely muscular, consulting a physiotherapist can be beneficial for pain relief and to learn stretching exercises that may help alleviate the discomfort. Wishing your quick recovery.
