    Thank you! That was my gut feeling, anyway.

    Did you walk on the beach over there in Spain? That'll make your calves sore because you are using your feet and legs differently.

    Endless PT...that sounds wonderful.

    I didn't really walk on the beach, but I did do a ton of walking on cobblestones, which really was not fun, even with good shoes. We figured out that we probably walked at least 20 miles...

    Crankin, I think you should go to the doc and have it checked out. I have known two people (active, healthy, 40s) who have developed deep vein thrombosis after transoceanic flights.

    If you have to see the doc anyways for a PT prescription, you might as well get checked out for DVT to be on the safe side.

    I wore my Zoot compression recovery tights both on the way there and back, as well as after a couple of days of the riding. I suppose something could have happened on the way there, but the LMT noticed the difference in my calves before I came home.
    OK, I will call.
