Muscular Problem in Calf?

Question

I have what feels like a muscular knot in the back section of my calf, the meaty part. I have not hit it on anything and no bruises are evident. It has not responded to massage, epsom salt baths, or IcyHot-type creams. Any idea what the heck is wrong with me? It also hurts like the dickens when I walk. Thanks!

Answer 1

It could just be tight. Have you tried stretching it out?If it does happen to be cramp like, try taking in some extra potassium. A banana a day keeps the cramping away. :)
