Restless leg sydrome

[Hubb123]

I tore my Calf muscle about 4 years ago, every time i try to exercise I get symtoms like restless leg sydrome (Burning, pain in the calf, and feeling like bugs crawling inside).  This is not noramlly during exercise but after and currently I have been getting them while at work when I am sitting for awhile.  Getting up walking around and streching helps. Everything I have read is reverse form what Restless Leg Sydrome is.  I have had MRI looking for blood clots and vericose viens.  I was wondering what this could be or if this is Restless Leg Syndrome?

Dr. Vinod has given very excellent advice.  

You mentioned too that the symptoms occur post exercise.  If you are an oversupinator and are using a medially posted shoe to exercise in (run etc) you may be over working your calf muscle group which decelerates supination...

Try this, put on your work out shoe and walk around the house.  If you feel a minor pull on the outside of your knee and excessive calf muscle activity (3 muscles there) it may be that the shoe is reinforced on the medial (inside) aspect and it is causing you to supinate (roll to the outside in midstance) more than you are intended to.  

By all means though rule out as Dr. Vinod said "Raynaud's disease, clots, and other vascular conditions" FIRST!

Restless leg syndrome consists of :

(Quoted from wikipedia)
NIH criteria according to National Institutes of Health (NIH) consensus panel:

An urge to move the limbs with or without sensations
Improvement with activity
Worsening at rest
Worsening in the evening or night

As you are facing these symptoms after the gastrocnemius muscle (calf muscle)  injury I would suggest you to probe the MRI and follow up with proper clinical consultation with an orthopedician.
You have to rule our Raynaud's disease, clots, and other vascular conditions.
If required go for a doppler ultrasonography.
