"Mad Calf" tightens up when starting running, then goes away after 30 minutes?

I'm so close to finally getting over this with patience and going easy, but still looking for any tips -

My right calf likes to tighten up overnight and if I wear a "night boot", that helps a ton. But when I start running, it responds by crunching down and acting a lot like compartment syndrome. After about half an hour of being stiff and fighting back, it finally fully relaxes and I can run just fine.

Any tips on getting it to not do that when I start running? Rolling it beforehand, stuff like that?

Also, I always assumed it wasn't compartment syndrome because it goes away after running a while. Or is that typical? Or maybe I'm just a level 1 sufferer on a scale of 1 to 5?
