Hi,Thanks for your query.
After going through your query I think you are having muscle cramps. In my opinion these pains are likely to be due to vitamins and trace element deficiency specially that of vitamin D.
I will suggest you to got following test to see cause .
1.Serum Vitamin D
2.Serum Vitamin B12
3.Blood sugar fasting and PP
Furthermore Empirically treat my such patients by:-
1.EVION LC
2.VITAMINE D3(if it is low)
3.VITAMIN B COMPLEX AND VITAMIN C
4.CALCIUM
5.Mecobalmine
6.ANALGESICS SUCH AS DICLOFENAC to relive pain.
I consider deep vein thrombosis as second cause because now pain is about three inches higher on leg then yesterdays location. In this case pressing calf muscles will be painful, similarly stretching of calf muscles by dorsiflexed of ankle will be painful. In this condition venography of calf will diagnose the condition.ANALGESICS SUCH AS DICLOFENAC to relive pain,low dose aspirin and local application of thrombophobe will be useful.
You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.Wishing you good health.Take care
