I've been up all night with lower leg pain in the calf area, toes hurt too.

I'm a grocery store stocker so damage may have been done, but I don't remember it hurting until about 4 hours after work yesterday. Any idea how to fix this and get some sleep before my shift at 3pm? Do not want to call in because of "leg pain". Makes me look like a pansie.

If you were reaching more than usual you could have virtually been doing 'calf stretches' for the better part of a shift. This would make both calves and toes hurt most likely.

If you recently started a statin(cholesterol lowering medication) this could possibly be a side effect.

Ibuprofin is typically a better OTC muscle pain reducer than Tylenol though.

He's like 16, I doubt he's on a cholesterol lowering medication.

Goody powder and B.C. are the best OTC pain reliever I've ever used. I'm not allowed to take them anymore because of my blood thinner.

Try some theragesic. It's a muscle rub you can buy at Walmart.

Whatever else you decide to do, make sure you sprinkle some salt around your ankles so the ants don't climb up and eat that candy ass. :p

Potential sciatic nerve issue. Be careful.

I'm 19 lol. Yankee has had it out for me since I've joined when I was 16, though.

Yankee has it out for most ppl, it's ok.

It could be an issue with dehydration. Eat bananas or drink some Gatorade next time.
