I recently hurt my back, sciatica down my leg, that was almost 2 weeks ago and I am going for MRI and to see a spine specialist next week.
I noticed calf pain with the back injury but it was manageable, just annoying - Tuesday I tried to work out very lightly. I woke up yesterday morning (Wednesday) with bad calf pain and its still there today. I have been using heat and advil but am really scared this is some sort of DVT. I do not have redness, swelling nor is the leg hot to the touch but its really freaking me out. It hurts to walk but does not hurt at rest, just when walking.
Am I being totally irrational? Does it sound like I just strained my muscle or that this could be something more? I mean, it REALLY hurts to walk. To the point where I try to keep my foot flat and not point the toes.
:weep: Just wish I was better ~
