There are many reasons for calf muscle tightness, stiffness and pain, common physiological factors, tendonitis, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation and so on.
1. physiological factors: such as long-term exercise, such as playing ball, running, etc., resulting in muscle tissue to produce a large number of lactic acid and other metabolites, can cause tightness and stiffness of the calf muscle pain. 2. tendonitis: tendons and tissues around the tendon aseptic reaction.
2. Tendonitis: aseptic inflammatory reaction of tendons and tissues around tendons, which can occur in knee and ankle joints, etc., manifesting as pain, pressure pain, motor dysfunction and inflammatory reaction in the lesion area, mostly accompanied by tightness and stiffness in the calf.
3. Lumbar disc herniation: it is a common cause of lumbar and leg pain, which is mainly caused by the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus or detachment of the fibrous ring, which stimulates or presses the nerve root and cauda equina. It can be manifested as calf pain, muscle tension and stiffness, mostly radiating pain. Often accompanied by lower limb numbness, weakness and other symptoms.
Calf muscle tightness and stiffness pain may have other causes, such as pear-shaped muscle syndrome, etc. If the symptoms continue to be unrelieved, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to clarify the cause of the disease and then actively standardize the treatment.
