Question : I am feeling tightness in my left calf. I have been doing a bit of walking and going up and down stairs.
I also continue to have tinging around my left side stomach.

What should I do to reduce the tingling on the left side of my stomach and the tightness in my left calf?

Brief Answer:
Pain in the Calf could be due to Musculoskeletal cause

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Pain in the Calf can be due to Musculoskeletal cause.Skeletal muscle relaxant tablet containing Thiocolchicoside will help.If there is no response,then you should get Colour Doppler of the leg and exclude Deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Tingling around the left side of stomach can be due to a nerve of that area.I prescribe tablet containing Gabapentin and Methyl cobalamine to my patients with similar complaints.If there is no response , Ultrasound abdomen should be done to exclude any lesion in the Abdomen.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery
Regards
