I have recently had lower calf pain in my right leg. I have been running a mile almost everyday for about 3 weeks, and jus recently brought it up to 2 miles. After I ran that 2 miles the pain started. I dont think it is my achilles tendon, it is higher on the back of the lower leg. unless the tendon goes that high. When I touch the area with it not flexed it hurts more than it does when flexed out. It seems to be muscle, in the lower calf. I tried to run on it today, and I made it to 1 1/4 miles and had to quit, but the pain started right away on the first lap and dulled out the more I ran. I would like to know what this is called and what treatments there are. I have tried to look it up but I either found it was achilles tendonitis, or calf strain, it says it usually happens when you get older, but im a 17 y/o male 6' 205 lbs, and do simple leg stretches before I run, but now know to stretch out the calf before I run. I would like to hear from anyone who would might kno
