How to treat pain in the calf muscles upon walking?

Question

Hello doctor,

I met with an accident one month ago. After a while, I still feel mild pain in my left leg and no pain in the knee. I can do all types of daily work and can climb stairs. Whenever I walk too much, I feel pain in the left calf. Also, I find difficulty using the Indian toilet because of pain in the knee and calf muscles.

Kindly help.
