left calf in pain

[ryan772]

So let me start this off by saying im a righty. Ive only played about 2 rounds the last couple weeks, and although ive been tge driving range a tad more over all i would say i havent swung much more then normal. The last week and a half i have had very bad pain in my left calf on the left side of it. Its really bad in the morning when i wake up, and even though i stretch It periodically throughout the day it hasnt gotten much better. This morning it was the worst its been. Ive tried eating bananas. And hydrating but nothing seems to help besides a hot bath. Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this? Im basically trying to see if its golf related or perhaps i just strained or pulled a muscle and didnt notice. Thanks guys!

Doesn't sound golf related. Do you run a lot? http://www.athletestreatingathletes.com/ata-blog/2013/05/peroneal-tendonitis/

See a doctor.

Agree, see a doctor since pain has been ongoing and/or increasing. That said, I am an Ortho nightmare, with a previous Achilles' tendon and hamstring tears from other sports , joint reconstructions, etc. so stretching and massaging works pretty well per DOCTOR instructions. Had a little calf pain last evening practicing felt at second hole so in between holes applied hard thumb pressure and hold as advised to outside of knee. Subsided and went away by end of round. Make sure it's not a serious injury by medical treatment. Minor subsides.
