Pain in the middle of the calf bone

The pain in the middle of the calf bone is related to your daily activities. For example, if you exercise excessively, it will lead to excessive secretion of lactic acid in the middle of the calf bone, which will cause pain in the middle of the bone. Just pay more attention to rest and it will be fine. Pain in the middle of the calf bone may also be caused by bumping into the bone or inflammation, so when inflammation occurs, we can take medication such as ibuprofen capsules for treatment.

If you experience bone pain in the middle of your calf, you should first avoid strenuous activities, reduce weight as much as possible, pay attention to keeping the area warm, and avoid getting cold. If the calf pain is severe, you can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs orally for analgesic treatment, such as diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, ibuprofen capsules, etc. You can also take some Chinese patent medicines that promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and relieve pain, such as compound pain capsules. If the pain is not significantly relieved after the above treatment, you need to go to the hospital in time to take X-rays or color Doppler ultrasound of the lower limb blood vessels to determine the cause and treat the disease accordingly.

What to do if your calf bone hurts during exercise

Mild calf bone pain generally does not require special treatment. As long as you reduce the hopping exercises of the lower limbs appropriately and choose a soft surface, the pain can generally be eliminated after 2 to 3 weeks of adjustment. Students who often experience pain or have severe pain after exercise should stop exercising, wrap their calves with elastic bandages, raise the affected limbs, apply hot compresses to the painful area, or massage with their hands. These methods are generally effective. When you participate in physical exercise again after recovering from an injury, the amount of exercise must be gradually increased to avoid recurrence.

Sports-induced tibiofibular periostitis can be prevented: arrange the amount of exercise reasonably to avoid local overload of the calf; master the movement techniques correctly, pay attention to relaxation during the movement and landing cushioning; avoid jumping exercises on hard ground; do sufficient warm-up exercises, and use massage techniques in time after exercise to eliminate calf muscle fatigue.
