Calf injury recovery

Hello !


this started a few months ago, I had very intense pain on the exterior upper part of the calf after hard training day.
Following my physio's advice, have been doing some calf and leg equilibrium exercises for months, yet the pain is still there.

Cycling or elliptical training don't trigger the pain... 5 minutes of running does. Interestingly, is very well defined and very easy (to my despair) to trigger:
if I push the inner side of the calf with my hand towards the exterior, if appears immediately on the external upper part of the calf.

Do you know what could be the reasons that trigger it ?

Thanks !

A lot of possibilities, due to timing of and response to various exercises. The way it sounds like it started could be a partial year, DVT even though there are no other indicators of this, or restricted fibula head movement in response to WB activities. Could that happen from restricted movement following an injury ? It could but doesn't mean that is the issue.
Try some isolated ankle and for resistance to see if there pain is reproduced. Try some isolated NWB strength testing to see if that reproduces the symptoms. Once you can narrow down more the activities by joint that provoke the Sx , the easier it will be to have educated guess about the possible causes. My suspicion based on nothing more than a few sentences is that it will be related to your ankle but it is impossible to say with any certainty at this point.
