My calves are in pain! (I dont run)?

Question

I dont run at all. In fact, I wouldnt say Im much of an excersizer. Im 5'7 at 103lbs and can't find the heart to do it. :P But last night after sitting in my bed playing our NES, I got up to get some water (It's all I drink. Im in northern cali) and I almost fell! Both my calves felt like they were going to explode! The feeling is what my mom used to tell me is just 'growing pains'. But d**n, I tried getting a good nights sleep and now I am awake asking you because they hurt even more now.

Answer 1

It could be Sciatica . Check with a doctor as if unattended it can become a nuisance in the long run.

Answer 2

It sounds like you may have had cramp, i get it in my calf when im asleep then it hurts for the rest of the night and the rest of the day!!

How were u sitting when u were playing the NES??

wiggle your feet every half hour or so if u r sitting for a long time!

If it keeps up then go and visit ur doctor.

Answer 3

Maybe Your Shoes you wear aren't supportive enough.
