If you do, stop exercising until you assess and solve the problem. Several different reasons are possible. If you have any questions, please consult your doctor.

Introduction to calf elevation
calf elevation is accomplished by raising a football sitting or standing. This will force your calves to start moving and strengthen their muscles. A machine usually helps to lift the sitting calf by applying weight to the knee to increase resistance to the muscles. You can do standing calf lifting, legs stretching or bending, and increase strength by maintaining weight. Some standing calf lifts are performed by placing the toes on the raised surface so that the range of movements is wider.

Possible causes of foot pain
Improper leg elevation may cause pain in areas not intended for exercise, such as your foot. If you haven't learned the right form, do it before you try again. In addition to inappropriate forms, the condition of feet or feet may be the cause. If the muscles and tendons of your feet are not used to exertion, they may be strengthened along with the muscles of your calf. In this case, the pain should feel like a burning sensation from intense exercise during leg elevation, followed by a slight discomfort. If your foot has a condition, such as plantar fasciitis, you may experience pain and exercise as a whole. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the sole of the foot. Only a doctor can determine why your feet are sore from raising your calves. Do not attempt to self-treat or self-assess the cause of pain.
Stop raising your calf if you feel pain or pain unless otherwise instructed by your doctor. Rest your feet; don't exercise yourself with strenuous activities such as running or jumping rope. If the pain persists after exercise, try soaking your feet in cold or hot water. The direct cause of pain usually determines which extreme temperature feels best. Massage and keep your feet elevated can also relieve some pain. OTC anti-inflammatory drugs can provide temporary relief. If the pain lasts for more than three days, see your doctor to make sure you are not injured.
Alternative to calf elevation
If your doctor allows you to continue exercising, other exercises will help strengthen your calf. Sitting in a chair and lifting your calves without gaining weight can gently strengthen your muscles. In addition, the use of leg press, only with the foot to push the board away, can produce tension in different parts of the leg and foot, enhance leg strength. Swimming, walking and jogging can increase the strength of your calves and other parts of your body.
