My calf muscle is so solid hard and painful?!


Question:

My calf muscle is so solid hard and painful?

My calf muscles have been hurting for a quite a while. They are like rock solid and immediately contract even from the slightest movement. I feel some minute relief when I elevate them, but still they pain is so excruciating. I frequently massage the calves but they temporaily mollify the pain. I also run on the treadmill 3 times a week. Why do the hurt and have these rock hard surfaces? any solutions??


Answers:

This is difficult to answer without knowing a few things like age, and whether you take any medications. It could be simply that you are dehydrated. If you are very active, you might consider adding salt to your diet, either in the form of salt tablets, or adding salt to your food. It could be that, if you are taking certain kinds of blood pressure medication, you are being depleted of potassium, in which case you can eat more bananas or drink more oj, or simply add a potassium supplement to your diet. If these two examples don't fit, talk to your doctor. Are your shoes too tight?
