I had surgery 4 wks ago with 3 screws in first 3 metatarsals and k-wires in the last 2. I've been in a air cast/walking boot for the past 3 wks. I started having pain in my calf about 2 wks ago which seems most pronounced when I have my boot off. It pretty much disappeared for several days last week and now it's back with a vengeance and hurts over a larger area of my calf. I'm thinking it's muscular since if it was a clot I think it would not have stopped hurting and would continue whether or not I have my boot on. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

Start stretching your muselces out. Change the angle of your feet to get the best stretch.

Cheers, Kelly
