Sore Calves

[jlong007 6]

Hello All,

For the past couple of days, I've noticed that when I walk, my calves are sore. I have no swelling and it's not warm to the touch.

Just want to know if anyone has ever experienced this

[JeanZ_RN 378]

Both, or just one? Have you been more active than usual in the past few days?

Are you getting enough fluids in like G2?

[gohelpyourself 377]

Get some potassium in you.

I've been walking a lot more. The soreness is mainly on the right, but I could also feel it on the left

[gohelpyourself 377]

if your surgery was recent it could be sore muscles from positioning on that OR table.

Sounds like it's just from walking more. If that's it, it will ease with time, and no food or drink will make any difference. Think of it as a badge you get for moving more. If it bothers you, try taking some Tylenol.

[gohelpyourself 377]

actually if it is sore from overactivity drinking Water to help flush lactic acid out will certainly help. Be careful with taking tylenol if you are on lortab b/c that has tylenol in it too.

Oh and I'm on lovenox

Sounds like you're sore from excercise ....in which case its probably working..no pain no gain my friend;-)

Try some coconut Water. I take that to prevent calf cramping due to working out when calves are heavily used (lots of jumping for example).
