Stretching stretches the nerves that are in the tendons. These are very sensitive so do the stretching gently.
Try soaking in epsom salts with lukewarm water. you can even put a cloth soaked with the mixture on your legs if you don't have a bathtub. I did that on a vacation once. Mix about 2oz to a gallon of warm water in a pan and get a clean cloth or thin towel, wet and place over the lower leg ...this takes longer than a bathtub but does work to help with the nerve pain.
