I am new for three months like you I had the same pain. So so bad. Left calf and foot pain was caused my a blood colt. Then worse right ankel started hurting got a steroid injection. Make it worse the ended up with inflammation and infection in my right foot. I couldn't walk at all. I try not to go toilet, because if my foot was down it will hurt like hell. I don't even brush my teeth or shower when the pain was unbearable. Disgusting I know :-(
