For several weeks now I have had a very tight calf during and after running. But its now got to the point its painful during the day aswell. The other night I was woken up with terrible cramp in it too. Its not too painful during the run that it makes me stop but my cool down walk is usually done with a limp and stairs are proving difficult!!! Any clues or tips welcome.
