Experiencing Pain,bruise & Soreness On Calf Muscle After An Injury
I was kicked just below my calf in soccer on Wednesday. It s been really sore, stairs are painful, and the bruise showed up on the outside of my ankle. I played again tonight, Sunday, and now it really hurts just keeping my leg straight. Would I need to see a doctor about this?

Hi,
In view of your complaints, it appears to be a sprain in calf /ankle. It is advisable to consult orthopaedic surgeon who might need X-ray also. Neglecting these injuries is not good.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
