Dr. Lin Yunfei
Calf muscle soreness is primarily caused by excessive exercise intensity, prolonged weight-bearing activities, or competitive sports leading to strain of the muscular soft tissues. The main symptom is a distinct sensation of soreness and swelling localized to the calf; in severe cases, a noticeable lump may also appear locally. However, in a small number of cases, calf soreness may be associated with venous thrombosis.
