Buen Camino all!

I completed my first Camino a couple of weeks ago, from Valenca to Santiago, aprox 124km. Had the most fantastic experience and cannot overestimate how worthwhile it was. The only issue I had during the walk was each morning, for about 5k, my right calf muscle would be very painful. I would walk through it and after a while, it would be ok, sore but manageable.
Since I came back, the skin around where the pain was in numb, along with the the top of my foot. It's not painful but i thought my body would have healed by now.

Does this sound farmiliar? Has anyone else had similar issue?

Thanks a mill...

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Obviously, this is a question for your doctor, not the forum.
What you and @Tincatinker and @amancio wrote says it all. I really believe that when we get questions like this that are obviously questions for medical professionals the thread the answer should be exactly what you wrote. The thread should be immediately closed after the moderator's response.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
