Welcome to health care magic, I share your concern and I will try to help you out in best possible way.
Squeezing of bottom of your leg might cause nerve compression or even muscle sprain, But such effects will result in lot of pain and swelling in the affected area or sometimes tingling and numbness sensation over a portion of your leg due to nerve compression, since you have not mentioned any of the above said symptoms, it is unlikely to hurt your leg in the future as well.
Hope this clarifies your doubts. Revert back to me if you have follow up queries.
