Subject: Pain below calf on outside and bottom of leg
I was doing a brick the other day and had some pain below the calf of my left leg. It actually feels like a cramp but just did not go away and it was on the outside and bottom middle of the lower leg below the calf (from my expert analysis I believe it is the soleusLaughing). I took a couple days off and had no pain walking, ran today and it is back, hurts a little while running but nothing unbearable but when I am done it really hurts for a while but after a few hours I can just feel it no real pain?????

My expert analysis agrees with yours

If the pain recurrs when you run, stop running, and for longer than you think.

Look up the anatomy of the leg...there are actually 2 calf muscles, so maybe you strained/pulled one of them.

I'm guessing the OP did, which is why he/she guessed it was the soleus (and not the gastroc).
