My calf hurts severely and it's hard to walk after I've sit or slept.after I have walked on it the pain is still there but not as bad

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

You may be cramping in your sleep. Do you ever wake up with pain?

There are many other reasons for leg cramps.

• Standing for a long time (especially on concrete)
• Sitting for a long time
• Too much exercise
• Low in potassium, calcium, and magnesium
• Being dehydrated
• Medicines, such as blood pressure drugs, diuretics, oral contraceptives, antipsychotics, statins, and steroids

Massaging your legs can help. Contact your doctor for help - an examination and/or testing is needed to know what's causing this pain, especially is cramping is not the cause.
Best,
