I'm 40 years old and love to play soccer. Here lately my calves hurt so bad, it feels like they are being ripped off the bone. Once I strectch and do an intense warm up the pain is tempararley gone, but as soon as I cool down and relax it's hell. I understand you go through things like this in sports but you would think that iceing every day and living on anti-inflamatories, it would eventually go away. I suffered with shin splints for a while but that has passed. Right now I'm using compression sleeves and it seems to help some. What is going on with my legs and how can I fix this?
