Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Tightness or pain in the calves is often the result of overuse.
I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day.
I also suggest using magnesium supplement for muscle relaxation.
Warm compresses can also be helpful.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
