What Causes Calf Pain?
My right calf has been hurting the past couple of weeks, feels like a cross between a pull and a knot. 2 weeks ago I rode in the car for an hour and my toes swelled on the same leg, the next day my calf hurt. I have a small dime size bruise on my calf near the area that hurts but don't remember doing anything to cause the bruise. Should I be concerned.

Hello,
Swelling and pain after a period of stillness like a car ride could be an indication of a blood clot in the leg. Please see a doctor as soon as possible for an exam.
