Brief Answer:
Remedies for having sharp pain in calf....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The pain you are having in the calf of your leg at the same spot could be related to:
- any trauma you had recently exactly at that place
- arthritis
- lack of vitamins and minerals such as Magnesium and vitamins of B group.
I advise to:
- keep the affected leg well warmed and massaging
- apply otc ant-algesic creams
- take oral otc pain killers
If the pain won't improve within a week, should consult your physician for further evaluation.
Hope it was of help!
