Inadequate amounts of minerals (such as magnesium and calcium) in the diet. The incidence of certain chronic diseases and pregnant women will also increase. Hypothyroidism, uremia, or other medical illnesses. Motor neurone disease, radiculopathy, or peripheral neuropathy. Some blood pressure and lipid-lowering drugs can also cause symptoms.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that calf fatigue and soreness are mostly related to qi deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it may be caused by external factors such as wind, cold, and dampness, or by internal factors such as excessive anger, thinking, and fear, or by neither external nor internal factors such as excessive sexual intercourse, which damages the kidney's essence and qi, external injuries to the tendons and bones, and eating damp or cold foods that damage the spleen.

So what are the dangers of calf pain?

Long-term pain will not only aggravate the disease, but also cause mental distress, which can easily lead to depression, temperament, and personality changes. It will also cause dysfunction of the human nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory and other systems, leading to other complications with serious consequences. The greatest harm caused by pain is not death, but reduced quality of life. Although pain will not kill people, many people voluntarily give up their lives because of pain.
