Re: Brand new problem and I need some advice

Did you stop walking, were you pretty much stuck in bed? Could be your tendon and/or calf muscle tightened up from lack of use and when you started walking again it didn't relax out, it tore slightly. Try stretching and ice, read my post just below in response to symptoms for how to do that. If this is the case, stretch well and very slowly start walking again, easy does it as you want to slowly re-relax your feet, ice afterward and take an anti-inflammatory if it's really bad. Don't "power through" the pain, pay attention to it, if it hurts slow down, but it is important to keep moving. I've never heard of a virus causing these symptoms, not sure what your doctor is thinking. Keep us informed, we care.
