Can plantar fasciitis cause calf muscle pain?
Asked 5 years ago
I am suddenly experiencing a lot of pain in my calves, and I don't know if this could be due to my plantar fasciitis or not. Can it cause me to experience pain in my calves?

Calf pain is typically caused by overly tight muscles. If those muscles are tight, the plantar fasciitis is put under too much strain. Plantar fasciitis itself does not cause calf muscle pain. Wall calf stretches and strengthening exercises can loosen muscles and relieve pain. And keep wearing your insole orthotics to correct faulty gait and reduce pressure on your plantar fascia.
