Squeezing Sensation In Calf Muscles, Forearms, Pulling Sensation In Ankle, Foot. Suggestions?

I have had a squeezing sensation in my calfs, increasing especially in the left over the last 5 weeks. It started as a pulling sensation in my foot/ankle feeling as though my toes were being pulled to a pointing position. I have had 1-2 plus edema in my inner ankle area, and 1 plus in my BLE. I am now experiencing some of the same squeezing sensation in the body of the muscles in my forearms. I have had recent labs drawn including K+, Calcium, hydration status, B12, D levels etc. All of labs came out great. I have not started new exercise program, I drink enough fluids, eat healthy, etc. Please help!! NO redness, warmth to indicate clot...

Hi and welcome to HCM
The pains that you have described are likely to be due to a muscular pain most likely caused by muscle spasm. Taking mild pain killers and muscle relaxants will bring a short term relief. Regular stretching exercise will be helpful.
you can do a hot fomentation and apply a local analgesic gel on the area to relieve the spasm.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
