Just throwing some more info to the topic. I am just recovering from medial meniscus surgery in the summer.
Calf pain - could be shin splints, as well as something wrong with he boots. Besides the sock, what else is inside the boot - something like tights or else? the point is if you stick too much things inside the boot and try to tie it down, you might be impeding the blood supply/return from the calves - hence pain.
For the shins splints - stretching + icing will do it.
Next - lateral knee pain in general. Could be lateral meniscus, colateral ligament or both. If the pain persists, probably an MRI is coming up .
Pains and aches apperenly come with these sports. If we don't want to deal with them, I guess we all have to start playing chess .
Good luck!
