Im a 22 year old male, overweight (approx. ~ 110+ kg) and have been very inactive with none to very little exercise the following the 3 years. Recently ive been very concerned about my health and have been following a good balanced diet and watching my calorie intake very intently. Also ive started going to a gym and have been spending time exercising and walking on a treadmill.
Since ive started walking on the treadmill, ive been experiencing cramps throughout my lower body, and such cramps have lessened by the passage of time. However, its been a month since i have this distinct pain/cramp in the left calf muscle of my leg when i walk briskly for a period of 9-10 minutes.
It does go away if i rest for a minute or two and i can continue for another 2-4 minutes until it pains again.
This is the reason for me writing to you today. How can i treat this pain, will it go away if i keep exercising regularly or can i do something myself to make this pain go away?And if any, do i need any medication for it? Should i apply ice or heat, should i massage it or do nothing?
A quick response will be appreciated.
Regards,
Minhal
