Causes of calf pain

There are many causes of calf pain, including poor blood circulation in the legs, varicose veins in the legs, and changes in ambient temperature, which can all cause calf pain.

Hypothyroidism, uremia, or other medical illnesses. Motor neurone disease, radiculopathy, or peripheral neuropathy. Some blood pressure and lipid-lowering drugs can also cause symptoms.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it may be caused by external factors such as wind, cold, and dampness, or by internal factors such as excessive anger, thinking, and fear, or by neither external nor internal factors such as excessive sexual intercourse, which damages the kidney's essence and qi, external injuries to the tendons and bones, and eating damp or cold foods that damage the spleen.

Causes of calf pain

1. The culprit is "lack of exercise"

Friends who drive may have this experience: after a few years of driving, their calves become extremely sore and tired, and they even often cramp. What's worse, there is a rattling sound when the ankle turns, and the knee joints may even be painful and popping, or there may even be fluid accumulation in the knee joints, etc.

Have you ever had this experience? The reason is very simple. This is because you walk less, exercise less, have less calf muscle activity, have slow blood circulation, and metabolic waste is not excreted from the body in time, so you feel severe soreness, tiredness, and fatigue.

Over time, the calf muscles are less stressed and their strength weakens, so the restraining effect on the ankle joint is weakened, the ankle joint becomes unstable, and abnormal popping sounds occur. Over time, these problems will gradually develop upward and affect the knee joints, causing a series of problems of the same nature.

The calf muscles have to bear the body's weight, so they are naturally strong. The stimulation of body weight is beneficial and necessary. Under such stimulation, the calf muscles can metabolize normally and work normally.

Well, as our lives become more and more better, we have fewer and fewer opportunities to walk or even exercise, the gravity stimulation on the calf becomes less and less, the metabolic environment becomes worse and worse, and its working condition becomes worse and worse. As a result, a series of symptoms appeared. The calves do not get the proper exercise, and the Qi and blood are not fully circulated, which is the root cause of calf soreness and swelling.

This reason seems simple, but it subtly affects our health and quality of life.

2. Be alert to "liver and kidney deficiency"

While you are experiencing soreness in your calves, do you also feel pain in your heels? Is there a slight ringing in your ears when it is late at night and everyone is asleep? If you experience these symptoms, you should be alert, as this is a manifestation of liver and kidney deficiency, not just a problem of lack of exercise.

"Heel pain" and even "tinnitus and deafness" are gradually becoming younger, and patients in their twenties and thirties are not uncommon. Seeking professional help is the only option.
