    Re: pain in inside of calf muscle

    I know its been mentioned - but circulatory tests are good but should also be done after exercise e.g. popliteal artery entrapment - resting post tib pulse is present but dissapears after the exercise which may be after 15 mins running or just a few caf raises - pop artery entrapment often comes with medical calf pain descrptions initally

    Hope that helps

    Re: pain in inside of calf muscle

    hi guys
    i think we should also think about soleus syndrome/medial shin splint
    should check for soleus muscle tightness

    other examinations suggested
    muscle strength of tibialis posterior
    posture of foot-pronation
    gait assessment
    calcaneocuboid and talonavicular mobility assessment
