My calf muscles are having a sharp pain go through them, what's wrong?

It literally feels like there’s needles poking at my calf muscle. It’s only happening to my left leg and the pain is concentrated in the right side of the calf muscles and mid to higher of the leg. I haven’t been doing anything this summer (rarely going outside and barely any exercise) and suddenly out of no where, I get this sharp pain, as I had described above, while I’m in the shower. I don’t know if the pain is from not exercising or not because when I do go outside, I can still run relatively the same distance before running out of breath as I had before summer vacation, and I do not have trouble walking on the leg either. I’m kind of getting nervous and slightly freaking out so can anybody help me?

Hmmm sounds like a Charlie horse to me, your potassium maybe low so try and eat a banana at least once or twice a week
