Is It Normal To Have Shin Swelling After A Muscle Tear?
i pulled/ tore my right calf muscle 7 days ago the first 3 days I could barely move it. Now I have most ofmobility back but I still have pain and some swelling. The swelling is mostly on the top of my shin. I can press down about a half inch. Is this normal? Also I now notice swelling on my other shin very strange. Is the swelling a symptom of something different?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a pulled muscle.
I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day.
I also suggest taking magnesium supplements for muscle relaxation.
Warm compresses can also be helpful.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
