I have muscle pain in calves without exertion
Muscle pain in the calves without exertion or without having been physically active can feel strange and worrisome.

Understanding the possible causes can help you take the right steps to relieve the pain. Want to know why you have muscle pain in your calves without exercise? More info...
Possible causes of muscle pain in calves without exercise:
- Poor circulation: Prolonged sitting or standing can lead to reduced blood circulation, making the muscles in the calves feel tense and painful.
- Dampness: Retention of fluid in the legs can put pressure on the muscles and cause pain.
- Mineral deficiency: A deficiency of magnesium, potassium or calcium can lead to muscle cramps and pain in the calves.
- Stress and tension: Chronic stress can cause muscle tension even without physical exertion.
- Medical conditions: Conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), fibromyalgia, or varicose veins can cause muscle pain in the calves.
- Lack of sleep: Lack of sleep can delay muscle recovery and worsen pain.
What can you do to relieve pain in the calves?
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration and reduce muscle cramps.
- Light movement: Take short walks or do stretching exercises to promote blood flow.
- Massage and heat: Gently massage your calves and use a warm compress to relax the muscles.
- Nutritional supplements: Ensure adequate intake of magnesium, potassium and calcium through food or supplements.
- Keep your legs up: Place your legs higher than your heart to improve blood circulation and reduce fluid accumulation.
