Reoccuring Swelling, Broken, Tender, Painful Capillaries On Right Calf. Help
My right calf is mysteriously swelling, broken capillaries and very tender and painful to touch, some heat there too. Nothing has happened to cause this discomfort. This is the 3rd time in 2 months this has happened. Starts with mild pain almost like after a charlie horse, then the pain and swelling spread and all symptoms peak, then it slowly goes away. Help?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain and the symptoms that you are having can be due to a muscle spasm or a deep vein thrombosis. If the swelling is persistent and the pain increases on walking then investigations are needed.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
