I have been running since I was 12. As I became older, in and out of shape, I noticed whenever I ran I quickly developed these stupid cramps at the sides of my calves, about four inches above my ankle bone. I thought it was due to uneven pavement, not warming up, weakened muscles, etc. For the past three years I have been in shape, weight lifting, running, cycling, walking, etc. But these stupid cramps won't quit.
Doctors say anti-inflammatories, coaches say ice and then heat.
Father had me do specific exercises. I want to run. The cramps start right away and won't go away until I stop running. When I don't run the cramps never resurface. It's just when I run.
