calf pain
Lower leg soreness
Pain in the fleshy back portion of the lower leg, between knee and ankle.
Calf pain commonly results from muscle strain, cramps, or overuse during physical activity: I had to stop running because of calf pain.
It can also signal circulatory problems like deep vein thrombosis, making persistent calf pain worth medical attention.
