Tingly And Numb Toes, Sore And Swollen Calf, Right Leg Pulsating Like Heart Beat. Treatment?

Hi yesterday after swimming for 30 minutes I went to sit on the pool steps. I sat down and the calf muscle on my right leg bunched up, poked out of my leg and started pulsating like a beating heart. The pain was horrible for about 3 minutes. During this time my toes were tingly and numb. Now my calf is very sore and swollen. This happened to me once before while I was sleeping about 6 months ago but that time my calf was not sore or swollen.

Hello
Thanks for posting your query.
From description it seems to be calf muscle strain and muscle spasm.
I suggest you to give some rest to your calf muscle. You can take anti inflammatory drug like ibuprofen to relieve pain and inflammation .Doing hot fomatation and applying muscle relaxant gel will be helpful.
Hope this will helps you.
