Suggest Treatment For Sharp Muscular Pain In The Right Leg
Question: Hello,
I have pain and tenderness on my right calf, inside left side, medial side i think. It started today, about 10 hours ago. It is sharp at times intermittently and comes and goes. No other symptoms, i am reasonably active and exercise 3-4 times a week with yoga and running - the tenderness is about 3 or 4 out of 10 with 10 being extreme pain, when i press on the tender local area. I thought it muscle pain and feels better when i stretch the calf but was worried whether it could be DVT or a clot - HR is 65-70 RHR all day and no other symptoms at all. I can walk without pain but from time to time i feel a sharp pain for a second or 2 - kindly advise me - i have atached images as well. No discoloration or major swelling. Thank you kindly for this great service and your expertise

Brief Answer:
It can be simple muscular pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
You have calf pain. But from your history it's looks like simple muscular pain in calf. It is very common. It is mild type of pain and releived by starching.
I have gone through your attached images. No any swelling or redness is there. It doesn't look any serious condition.
You just wait for a day or two. It will be cured by itself Is you can take analgesic drug.
If your pain remains persistent then you need examination. I need to examine pulsation in your lower leg arteries. But right now it doesn't looks like DVT or clot.
Wait for some time. Give me follow up.
Hope I have answered your question.
