What Causes Pain At The Top Of Left Calm Muscle?
Hi I am experiencing pain at the top of my left calm muscle. I play soccer, and I only experience the pain when I bend the knee with my weight on it especially when running backwards. When it happens I can feel my body collapsing upon the knee. Is it a muscle or tendon problem? Thanks.

Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
