Sporadic Calf Muscle Soreness and Stiffness in both legs at once

[JNGW]

I am not sure if anyone has experienced this.. for the past 6 months I have been experiencing a sore tightness in both of my calf muscles sporadically. It does not seem to be related to exercise since I can go for a run and feel nothing... but then I can be sitting and all of a sudden my calves (always both at the same time) start to ache and feel tight. Sometimes they feel so sore that I can almost not walk. Water seems to help on occasions. I can't understand why all of a sudden I may be becoming dehydrated so that doesn't seem logical...

The aches come and go without warning and sometimes it's much worse than other times. There have also been times when I may not experience any aching for several days.

My doctor, general practitioner, has no explanation. I am thinking that I need to see someone else... any ideas? Endocrinologist?

Any ideas would be great.

I am now feeling pain in both my calves. I have no explination for this. I am constantly on my feet all day long. I thought that may have something to do with it but after reading everyone's testimony it kinda makes me wonder now.....

That's strange, I have had leg pains on and off all my life, both my daughters have it too. Ours are definitely related to damp and cold conditions. I have the pain much less since moving from the UK to to the USA. I have also observed that if the weather is very warm and then it drops cooler in the evening (especially if I have had bare legs) my legs ache terribly. I have learned to avoid the conditions that trigger the pain. The hot tub helps a lot, or any kind of heat directly to the area.

If you have read any of my posts, I have tried everything suggested on this forum and more.  So to get to the point, I saw my RA one more time and my blood work was all normal again except for a very slight elevated RA factor.  So the doctor decided to treat me with Prednisone(only 10 mg per day) that seems to cover a wide variety of issues.  Long story short.  Within two days my body pain is all but gone.  My swelling is gone, calf's, arms, knee's, etc., my face is back to normal, for some reason I lost between 7-10 lbs. and definitely not complaining about it.  I can make a fist, my entire body cracking and popping is all but gone.  This is remarkable. I don't hurt.  My wife and friends have noticed the change immediately.  I was at my lowest during this last visit and now, everyday is a new positive story. OH, my blood pressure went down to under 120 over 80.  This is really hard to comprehend after 8months of pain.  I really hope this may help someone.

Well I don't have Myasthenia Gravis. The doctor is thinking I have a deficiency in something, even though my blood tests came back ok. So I'm on high quality vitamins & drinking more water for the next week. I can't see this as the solution for my intense pain in my calves, but I'll try it. It
