I was kicked in the calf 7 days ago hard while playing soccer and had an x ray, no broken bones, but the swelling and bruising is increasing and is very painful. I still have to use crutches to get around. Why is it lastig so long and what can I do to speed the process?
Hello I have studied your case. due to injury therr can be haematoma formation leading to persistent pain. ice fomentation over injury will help. You can apply thrombophobe ointment. Take rest for early healing. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and Tens may give you relief. active and passive leg movement will help. I hope I have answered your questions.
