What should I do if my calf muscles are tight and painful when I tiptoe?
In general, common clinical causes of leg muscle tightness and pain are as follows :
Patients with lumbar disc herniation can cause radiating pain in the lower extremities because the herniated lumbar disc compresses peripheral nerves. At this point, the patient may present with tightness and pain in the calf muscles. Local massage can relieve nerve compression on the lumbar disc and improve calf muscle tension and pain.
If the patient does not have enough rest after long-term exercise, and the lactic acid and metabolic waste in the calf muscles are not fully absorbed, the symptoms of calf tightness may occur. At this time, local massage, acupuncture, hot compress and other methods can be used to promote the absorption of metabolic wastes such as lactic acid, and improve calf pain and tension.
Elderly patients may experience spasmodic contractions of the calf muscles, causing pain and tension due to a cold or lack of calcium in the body. At this time, the legs should be kept warm, and calcium and vitamin D should be supplemented to avoid the recurrence of leg tension and pain symptoms.
