There may also be other causes of calf soreness. Diabetic patients can be examined by lower extremity electromyography or by ultrasound of the arteries of both lower extremities to determine whether there is diabetic neuropathy or vascular lesions of the lower extremities. If the diagnosis of diabetic lower limb neuropathy caused by pain, patients can take oral nerve nutrient drugs (such as methylcobalamin, etc.) and drugs to reduce nerve pain (such as pregabalin, etc.). If the diagnosis of lower extremity vascular stenosis or occlusion caused by calf pain, can be oral antiplatelet or improve the circulation of drugs to improve the blood flow of the lower limbs, relieve pain, serious patients need to undergo surgical intervention.
