Calf muscle soreness and weakness

Our body's ability to move flexibly is closely related to our limbs. The lower limbs are especially prone to problems. A typical example is soreness and weakness in the calf muscles, which may be caused by excessive use of the legs. When discomfort occurs, some methods can be used to relieve it, which has very good results. So, what should you do if your calf muscles are sore and weak? Let’s look at the solution below.

Oral vitamin C can promote the synthesis of collagen in connective tissue, help accelerate the repair of damaged tissue and relieve soreness and swelling. Vitamin E can reduce the accumulation of harmful muscle products (such as free radicals) during exercise, relieve muscle soreness and swelling, and reduce the degree of damage to muscles caused by strenuous exercise. Perform static stretching exercises on the sore and swollen area, maintain the stretching position for 2 minutes, then rest for 1 minute, and repeat. Doing this stretching exercise several times a day can help relieve spasms.

First, you must eat foods that can produce blood every day, such as meat, fish, eggs and other foods. These foods are the source of blood, but the amount varies from person to person. In traditional Chinese medicine, Qi is generated in blood, and strength is generated in Qi. In other words, only when the blood is sufficient, the qi will be vigorous and the strength will be great.

Second, when your calf muscles are sore and weak, do not overwork your legs. It is best to do less or rest. Otherwise, your calves will become even weaker. It may be related to calcium deficiency, fatigue, potassium deficiency and cold. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and supplement calcium appropriately. Use a hand warmer or hot water bottle for hot compresses at night, and pay attention to keeping warm, and the condition will generally get better.
