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...

Indeed, go to your doctor ASAP, that region of the leg is prone to clotting, better rule that out soon!

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.
