Suggest Remedies For Severe Pain In Left Calf Post An Injury
I slipped/tripped last Saturday. I didn't fall, but I know I pulled a lot of muscles. My left calf is really hurting. It is very painful anytime that I straighten out my leg or bend it. It is also very painful to walk on. Should I go to see a doctor? I just wanted to make sure it was more than just stained muscles.
It can sometimes take a few weeks for pain related to a muscular injury to resolve.
You would need to rest it as much as possible and also consider warm compresses 3 to 4 times a day for 15 to 20 mins. In addition the use of an anti inflammatory medication would help eg naproxen, cataflam , ibuprofen
I hope this helps
