7. Calf Pain

Calf pain is commonly felt in the back of the leg, typically when running, jogging, or hopping. One of the lesser known causes of calf pain is a blood clot that develops in the veins of the legs, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Approximately 2 million people experience this potentially life-threatening problem each year. The repercussion of DVT is a piece of the blood clot may break open and result in a clot in the lungs. Certain kinds of cancer and prolonged bed rest are also probable risk factors associated with the calf pain.
