What Causes Bruise Like Tenderness At The Base Of Both The Calves?

I walk every day for exercise, and last night noticed a tender area at the base of both of my calves. It doesn't feel like muscle pain because it feels worse when massaged. It actually feels the same as a bruise would, but there has not been any trauma to either leg.

This could be caused by slow walking or by extending your back while walking ( upright position )
in both cases weight tend to drop on your heels which is not normal as weight should drop on your toes

I recommend rest or wearing anfoit arch if rest is not optional
and the use of NSAIDs like alphinturn 3 times a day
Good Luck
