Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.This sounds like calf tightness, but it may be a few other things that are more concerning. If the tightness is only in one calf, you need to get a follow-up, especially if you are on birth control or have another risk for blood clots. Depending on your age, you may be at risk for problems with your blood vessels that can cause calf pain when walking.Calf tightness is very common, especially in athletes and in women who wear high heels, and is usually from overuse of muscles that have not been stretched properly, causing inflammation and tired muscles.
