Calf Pain?

NicoleSchimmel

I've been working out the past few months, and have recently felt pain in my calf on my left leg. It hurt so bad in the beginning that I wanted to limp. It doesn't hurt to touch my calf; the ache is deeper than that. My left leg is slighly shorter than my right (maybe a half inch to an inch), so maybe that's the issue? It feels good when I push down with my thumbs towards my ankle, but that doesn't always work.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? It aches when I do squats, and it really aches when I crouch (for example, put something on the bottom shelf in the fridge).

Please help!

Thanks!!
