I keep having spasms of pain in my left leg. I can walk and I believe I ache all over from the trauma of the fall. What do you recommend I do?

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to the injury. I recommend using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also recommend to use cold compresses for local application. I also recommend to rest and avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
