Why Does My Calf Muscle Hurt




 
 

7.Neurogenic Claudication
The most common cause of this problem is spinal stenosis — a narrowing of spaces in your spine that puts pressure on nerves. You can have pain, tingling, or cramps in your legs, as well as your hips and bottom. It could get worse when you stand or walk, but will stop if you sit or lean forward. If you have neurogenic claudication, you may need surgery to ease the pressure on your nerves.

 

8.Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Up to half of all people with diabetes get nerve damage. Peripheral neuropathy, which is caused by frequent high blood sugar, can bring numbness, pain, weakness, and a burning feeling in your legs. You may feel it in your feet, arms, and hands, too. Since you may start to lose your balance or find it hard to walk, your doctor can prescribe medicine to treat the pain. Physical therapy can improve your strength.
