What is the cause of the burning sensation in the calf?

The burning sensation in the calves is likely caused by local vascular inflammation or high ambient temperature. It is also closely related to diseases such as lumbar disc herniation.

1. Vascular inflammation: When vascular inflammation occurs, the calf may become red, swollen, or painful. The onset of the disease is related to factors such as immune lesions, and is also affected by external environmental stimuli and other factors. There may be infection. After diagnosis, it is usually necessary to use hormone ointments for treatment as prescribed by the doctor, and to cooperate with anti-infection drugs to promote recovery, such as antibiotics.

2. High ambient temperature: If the ambient temperature is relatively high, it will cause varying degrees of stimulation to the calf muscles and may also cause burning sensations. Pay attention to maintaining appropriate room temperature and humidity, and avoid living in a high temperature environment frequently, otherwise there will be some risks.

3. Lumbar disc herniation: After the disease occurs, the lumbar spinal cord is usually compressed. Symptoms include abnormalities of the lower limbs, which will cause a burning sensation in the calves. It is necessary to go to a regular hospital's relevant department for a comprehensive examination to determine the cause. Patients in the acute attack period must strictly rest in bed and choose a hard bed, which can relax the waist muscles and reduce the pressure on the intervertebral disc. They should also pay attention to keeping the waist warm at ordinary times.
