inner knee/ calf pain

[egor110]

Could having mega tight calf's lead to inner knee pain?

I'm a postie so in a 8 hour day i'm standing for the first 4 then in/out a van and walking for 4 hours, i have a pair of these insoles in my work boots http://www.littleniggle.com/item/PlantarFasciitis_...

On top of all that i've just started going to the gym after having 5 years off, i was only running for 30 mins on the treadmill so not really over doing it? i was doing squats and leg extensions, spoke casually to a physio i deliver to and he thinks the leg extension machine is crap as it puts all the pressure on your knee as you lift.

Any help gratefully recieved

Stay well clear of the leg extension machines, they ruin knees and most physics I know would have them removed from the gym.

Any change in the last couple of months?

Yeah ditiched the leg extension, just stick to squats and all's good.
