Dear Ravinder ji,

Severe pain in the right calf muscle, especially if you can't walk or stand, could be a sign of a serious condition and should not be ignored.

Possible Causes of Shooting Calf Pain

  • Muscle tear or strain – often due to sudden movement or injury

  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – blood clot in the leg, serious if swelling or warmth is present

  • Nerve compression – from spine or sciatica affecting leg nerves

What You Should Do

  • Don’t put weight on the leg, complete rest is advised

  • Apply ice to reduce pain and swelling (avoid heat)

  • Keep the leg elevated and avoid massage unless prescribed

Immediate Steps

  • Get an ultrasound or Doppler test done if swelling or clot is suspected

  • Consult an orthopaedic or vascular specialist urgently

How HexaHealth Can Help

  • Book a fast consult with specialists in Chandigarh

  • Help arrange tests like Doppler, MRI, or physiotherapy

  • Assist with treatment

Ravinder ji, since you're unable to stand or walk, please seek medical help immediately, timely care is essential to avoid complications.
