What is this ache in my calf?

[kikid]

Started a week ago with what I thought was a stomach bug, nausea & loose stools, which has continued all week, so eating very little at the moment, headache comes & go's, drinking only water & lots of it!

Last few nights i'm not able to get to sleep due to ache in my calves, this is driving me mad.. I generally go to sleep straight away.
now the ache is still with me during the day.
I am generally well & active. Any ideas?

Get some salty food in, and a banana, and some diarolyte.

You've probably giving yourself a salt and potassium deficiancy, by consuming only water in such hot sweaty weather.

Thanks, have some salted peanuts & bananas in, will give this a try.

Has is helped?

Is it both calves?

I thought it could be a sign of a blood clot if it was one leg. I would phone NHS24 or whoever it is and see if they send you to hosp for an ultrasound scan.
