Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Left Leg
Question: i have a cramp like pain in my left leg . i feal like its some vein in the calf area that pains very badly. what can be the reason
Brief Answer:
neuropathy v/s muscle strain
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your medical history in detail.
From the symptoms it seems that the pain may be due to neuropathy or a muscle catch.
A muscle strain may cause inflammation of the calf muscle or a nerve may get inflammed due to a sudden pull.
I would suggest you to apply a compression bandage and take anti inflammatory tablets with pregabalin and methycobalamin tablets.
Apply local gel with hot fomentation.This will reduce the inflammation as well as pain.
You can get back to me if you get no relief within next 48 hours with the above measures.
I hope the answer was useful.
Feel free to ask me any follow up queries that you may have.
Thank you.
Kind regards.
