The calf muscles located on the back of the lower leg are responsible for stability during movement and the work of the feet. What can cause pain in the area of this muscle, which can withstand really serious stress?
Vascular diseases are one of the most common causes that cause calf pain. The most “harmless” problem is stagnation of venous blood, if a person is in a standing or sitting position for a long time. This stagnation is accompanied by aching dull pain. Thanks to a special massage, you can easily get rid of this problem.
The calves of the legs are sore with thrombophlebitis and atherosclerosis - in any of these cases the help of a specialist is necessary, since diseases can develop into the most serious consequences. A sign of thrombophlebitis is pain along with swelling, redness of the skin, the formation of seals in the direction of the veins.
Shin injuries - muscle breaks, sprains and bruises - also cause the calves to hurt.
Excessive loads are reflected in the muscle during active sports, during overwork, and also when a person is overweight: overweight people and athletes very often complain of painful cramps in the calf area. Muscle weakness is mainly due to myopathy, a group of hereditary chronic muscle diseases.
Does your calf hurt when walking? Often the reason for this is the reflective nature, because its main culprit may be a restrained nerve or spine.
A serious danger is a chronic or acute myositis, that is, inflammation of the muscles. Often this disease develops due to hypothermia or a complication of an infectious disease and is accompanied by aching pain.
If it hurts in the calves of the legs in a horizontal position at rest, then this is the first sign of critical ischemia. In this case, the pain completely disappears or subsides, if you stop walking or lower the limb.
As for the beautiful female legs, which are not just a luxury for seduction, but also a means of transportation, they are most prone to such types of pain. When a person is already in old age, due to a metabolic disorder or varicose veins, pain in the calves of the legs is the norm.
But these pains in young men or women, children - this is abnormal and wrong. In this case, treatment, care, attention and care are required. Most often, at a young age, such a problem is faced by people with such professions as security guards, waiters, sellers in hypermarkets - these people, under a labor agreement, are not allowed to even sit down during the working day. And they rest for a short break, which is generally not enough for a good rest of the legs.
And naturally, the legs give a reaction to such a dismissive and clearly user attitude towards them, so over the years they begin to swell, hurt, require care, attention and even treatment. The legs are the support of the person, which should be not only well-groomed and beautiful, but also truly healthy.
And high heels, and very tight synthetic trousers in which the skin of the legs practically does not breathe, and constant sitting at the TV or at the computer, and corns or calluses from new, not quite comfortable shoes, and cold seats in trolleybuses and drafts ?! And then a person wonders why his calves hurt, and indeed his legs? There are more than enough reasons for such pains, but very rarely people in pursuit of the joys of life and money pay attention to such “trifles”.
Between this, very often pains in the legs, arising for "incomprehensible" reasons, are considered the first signal of an internal illness of the body. It is very important not to miss this moment and to cure the disease at the initial stage.
