Traditional Chinese medicine believes that calf fatigue and soreness are mostly related to qi deficiency.

2. Varicose veins

Calf muscle soreness may be caused by insufficient heart pressure and insufficient venous elasticity, making it difficult for blood to flow back to the heart in the lower limbs, leading to varicose veins in the lower limbs. There are many causes, such as standing or sitting for long periods of time, lack of regular rest and exercise, lack of exercise of leg muscles, and poor cardiovascular function.
