What Causes Sudden Stiffness And Pain In The Calf Muscle?

Thank you! I m 49 yr old w/m in good condition and I was playing with my friends 5 yr old son and wanted to skip race and when i pushed off with my left foot, I felt like someone hit me in my left calf with a hammer and immobilized me and it s not a charle horse per se. Any Idea? And I didn t stretch my calf as I was walking from my car to my house.

Hi,

It could be a muscle spasm, apply crepe bandage, give hot fomentation, take over the counter painkillers, applied diclofenac gel. If not relieved within 3 days, consult to your nearest hospital.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
