Can Pain Travel From Calf Muscles To Ankle?
I had a golf cart tip and land on my leg over a week ago...hurt terribly. Couldnt walk on it very good for couple days...calf muscle felt very bruised n tender n tight! Never did bruise...till now a week later my ankle is swollen and bruised..just wondering why it's getting worse more now then when it happened...and why it my ankle when the worst pain came from my calf?

Sometimes the muscle tear or acute spasm leads to collection of blood under or inbetween the muscle belly. It first hardens & then again becomes liquid if the amount is more over a few days. This fluid tends to collect and irritates the musclescausing pain
