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.
Six weeks ago I had a torn hamstring. That healed, but for the past two weeks my calf has been swollen and only hurts if I press on it. I also developed an itchy rats above my ankle, that has since cleared up with Allegra cream. Is this swelling a byproduct of the tear?

Can A Torn Hamstring Cause Swelling In The Calf?
hi, it cannot be because of the hamstring tear. may be it s just a weakness of the calf muscle due to hamstring tear. focus on strengthening the calf muscles and you should be fine. thank you
