article: Muscle cramps can cause severe pain in your lower legs by causing your muscles to suddenly contract. A sudden, intense cramp or spasm in your lower leg is sometimes called a "charley horse." While these cramps can be extremely painful, they usually go away on their own or with minimal treatment. The symptoms of a charley horse include: Hard, tight calf muscles Sudden, sharp pain in the muscles "Lump" or bulge in the muscles Muscle cramps and spasms tend to go away fairly quickly. You can speed this recovery process by stretching and using heat (or cold). Stretch your affected calf muscle. You can do this by putting your weight on the leg that is cramping. Bend your knee slightly. Alternately, you can sit with your affected leg stretched out in front of you. Use a towel to gently pull the top of your foot towards you. Apply heat. Use a heating pad, hot water bottle, or warm towel to relax the cramping calf muscle. Taking a warm bath or shower may also help. Apply ice. Massaging your calf with an ice or cold pack may help relieve the cramp. Apply ice for no longer than 15-20 minutes at a time, and always wrap the ice pack in a towel to prevent frostbite. Tendinitis is caused by an inflammation of a tendon, one of the thick, Rope-like "cords" that connects your muscles to your bones. Tendinitis can happen anywhere you have tendons, but it commonly occurs in elbows, knees, and heels. Tendinitis can cause pain in your lower calf or heel. The symptoms of tendinitis include: Dull, aching pain that is worse when you move the joint A feeling of "crunching" or grating when you move the joint Tenderness or redness Swelling or lumps Treatment of tendinitis is usually simple: rest, take over-the-counter painkillers, ice the affected area, use compression bandages, and elevate the affected joint. A strained soleus muscle is less severe than a strained or torn gastrocnemius. This injury often happens in athletes such as daily or long-distance runners. Usually, strains to this muscle include the following symptoms: Tightness or stiffness in the calf muscle Pain that gets worse over the course of a few days, or even weeks Pain that gets worse after walking or jogging Mild swelling Because it connects your calf muscles to your heel bone, the Achilles tendon can cause calf pain when it is injured. Injury to this tendon can happen when you exercise strenuously, fall, step into a hole, or jump improperly. You should seek medical attention immediately if you believe your Achilles tendon has been ruptured, as it is a serious injury. Symptoms of a ruptured tendon include: an audible "pop" or "snap" in your heel (often, but not always) pain, often severe, in the heel area that may extend into the calf swelling inability to bend your foot downward inability to use the injured leg to "push off" as you walk inability to stand on your toes using the injured leg Knowing who is most at risk for an Achilles tendon rupture may help you determine whether this is the cause of your pain. People most at risk for tearing or rupturing the Achilles tendon include: Those between 30-40 years of age Men (5x more likely than women to develop a rupture) Those who play sports that involve running, jumping, and sudden bursts of movement Those who use steroid injections Those who use fluoroquinolone antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin (Cipro) or levofloxacin (Levaquin)

article: One way to prove yourself as leader is to always walk through doorways or gates ahead of your dog when entering or leaving your home. This shows your dog your dog that you're in charge and he can be confident with you as his leader. This will also teach your dog good manners. This trust and confidence in you helps reduce the likelihood that there will be any separation anxiety in situations where you leave your home without your dog. Set the rules for an enjoyable walk with your dog on his leash. Don't allow your dog to walk in front of your or pull and tug on the leash. Instead, have your dog walk beside or behind you. To do this, you should walk your dog with a standard, 6-foot, non-retractable leash. Hold the leash so that there's only enough room for your dog to stay by your side without being able to move in front of you. You should always be the frontrunner in any walk. This will signal to your dog that you're in control. in basic commands. You're responsible for raising a good canine citizen. Teach your dog basic commands including, "sit," "stay," "come," and "lie down." Your dog should eventually learn to respond quickly and correctly to your commands. To encourage your dog, use positive reinforcement techniques, by rewarding your dog with treats, affection and positive words, such as "good dog." Commands show your dog that you're in charge, help you keep your dog's behavior in line, and teach your dog how to be a well-rounded member of your family. You can start training puppies at 1 to 2 months old and even old dogs can learn new tricks. If positive training techniques don't work, try another training method that doesn't involve strong discipline during training. It's your job as leader to make sure your dog stays active and healthy, allowing him to thrive. Take your dog one or two 20 to 30 minute walks a day. This can keep your dog mentally and physically healthy. If your dog is inactive, he can become restless and bored. This can lead to unwanted behavior, like chewing, or barking. As a leader, you need to be consistent and clear with your rules. Occasionally bending rules only confuses your dog and sends the message that you're not a reliable leader. Your goal is to always remain strong and fair in your dog's eyes and show him that you are the best choice for a trustworthy leader. Repetition and consistency are best ways your dog will learn. For example, if you reprimand your dog for begging at the dinner table today and then feed him scraps from the same dinner table tomorrow, you are not being clear and consistent with your rules. This can plant a seed of doubt in your dog's mind that you may not be a very strong leader. Calmly and in a firm voice, give your dog a basic command. Your goal is to reassert your authority and remove him from the bad behavior. For example, if your dog jumps up on other people, calmly and firmly tell him to "sit." If he still misbehaves, remove him from the area, withdrawing your attention.
