Prolonged calf soreness may be caused by calf muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation and calcium deficiency.
1. Calf muscle strain: patients with excessive exercise or prolonged physical labor will lead to strain of the calf muscles, and the phenomenon of prolonged soreness of the calves may occur. It is recommended to reduce the amount of exercise and pay attention to rest.
2. Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation: after the lumbar intervertebral disc compresses the nerve root, the nerve root becomes edematous and degenerative, and the lower limb area innervated by the nerve root may have radiating pain, which causes long-term calf soreness. It is recommended to rest in bed, if necessary, can be injected intravenously vasodilator drugs such as sodium heptadecyl saponin to reduce the edema of the nerve root, so as to reduce the symptoms.
3. Calcium deficiency: If the patient’s body is in a state of calcium deficiency, it may cause osteoporosis, which will lead to long-term calf pain.
When the patient’s calves appear long-term pain, it is recommended to go to the hospital orthopedic examination in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
