Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have grade 3 calf muscle tear.. used ice packs & rested (last 2 days, injury is 5 days old) but swelling doesn t seem to be subsiding. Still in pain. Doctor recommended enzomac plus for 5 days. The pain is unbearable if I am sitting. I cannot afford to take any more rest as my work is getting hampered. What should I do for a quick recovery?
Dear patient Ther is no shortcut for muscle recovery. Grade 3 tear requires rest for at least a month for complete repair and recovery. Calf muscle is very important for walking , running and day to day activities. So do not neglect it and take proper rest. You should wear pop brace to give complete rest to muscle. Take tab Enzomac plus as prescribe twice and nd day which helps in pain and non swelling relief. Take tab phlogem thrice a day before meals for swelling reduction. All the best.
