There are many causes of sore calves, such as poor local circulation leading to peripheral blood vessels or varicose veins in the feet, sudden changes in ambient temperature, dietary mineral content supplementation, etc. What exactly are the causes of calf pain?

Calf pain caused by obvious impact and kick injury

For obvious impact, kick injury, chronic pressure fracture can cause muscle damage, and the pain will only subside after a few days.

Calf pain caused by excessive exercise

A large amount of exercise or a long interval without exercise, in the beginning after the exercise, often appear sore calf muscles. This muscle soreness discomfort can occur after the end of exercise, but occurs 1 to 2 days after the end of exercise, so also known as delayed pain. The reason for delayed muscle soreness after exercise is the amount of muscle activity during exercise that causes knee injury to local muscle fibers and connective tissue, as well as spasm of some muscle fibers.

Calf soreness caused by poor posture

The common manifestations are: weakness, soreness and localized pressure pain in the arm and leg muscles, followed by persistent pain and muscle stiffness.

Calf pain caused by cold

Muscle twitching and soreness caused by cold. In the hot summer, some people soak in cold water for a long time, sleep in a cold air-conditioned room or have a fan blowing on their legs for a long time in order to be cool, which can cause cold into the body and cause soreness in the calves.

Calf pain caused by volatile gas poisoning

Newly renovated houses are prone to emit formaldehyde, causing the human body to be susceptible to volatile gas poisoning and thus causing calf pain, which generally occurs in newly renovated rooms or newly purchased furniture.
