Could Pain And Swelling In Calf After Being Kicked By Horse Be Blood Clot?
My husband was kicked in the calf and again below the calf by our horse. He is 56 years old. The leg is swelling somewhat (injury was 4 hours ago) He won t go to the Doctor. Do I need to watch for blood clots? What would I be looking for. He s in pretty much pain.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of your husband seem to be related to the injury.
I suggest to use cold compresses for local application.
I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen for the pain.
I recommend to rest.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
