Suggest Remedy For Pain And Stinging In Inner Leg And Calfes

Hello Doctor,A week ago, I went surfing and got tossed around a bit. After about an hour, I decided to get out of the water because a stinging pain in my right soleus (inner side of leg above my leash) and pain in my calf. It was a stinging sensation irrespective of whether anything was touching it of not. Did the R.I.C.E thing for a few days. Not as sensitive but still stinging to the touch and I noticed a greenish coloring from my Achilles to the back of my knee. Thought I probably just got hit with my board but didn t really notice when it happened. Problem is that the pain and stinging is not going away. Wondering if I tore something because it doesn t seem to be healing like most bruises would.

Hello, your concerns are valid, and since it is not healing, you need to take care. now first thing. Do you have any problem besides pain on walking, and do you feel an indent over your tendon, if any of the above is true, there is possibility of tear of the tendon, and in that case normally plastering or surgery is must. if its not that than do not worry, just take some rest, keep limb elevated, and in a few more days things will improve fast, lets be frank, the usual healing period in such injuries is about 3 weeks depending on the severity.
i hope your concern has been taken care of.
happy healing.
