Calf Pain

About 3 wks ago, I ran a 100mile race. My recovery from the race was pretty good. However, I developed moderate calf pain after at 12 hr flight from SF to Germany. I noticed the calf pain immediately when leaving the plane. Sense then (~5 days ago), I've been suffering from the following pain/symptoms:

• Calf pain when I sit down or stand up. The pain typically lasts for 3-10 mins then subsides (both when walking and sitting/laying down)

• Once I start walking, the pain eases and then seem to disappear after a while.

• There is no swelling or redness.

• The pain seems to center around the middle/inner to upper part of the calf mucle.

• If I rub the calf, there is moderate pain.

Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

Sounds like it might be spasming from strain during your race. Could have pulled a muscle. Might just need to ice it for 20 minutes a few times a day, try and stay off of it so it can heal, and see if it gets better. If not, better get it checked out, so you don't miss your next race :)
