Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Calf Area

My husband has sciatica and has had a steroid injection 4 days ago. His ankle pain has subsided somewhat but his lower calf is still very painful. We noticed a lower calf lump that is sensitive to the touch. Is that serious? He has titanium knees and hips

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Kindly visit an orthopedician asap. Calf muscle swelling has to be looked in detail to know the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
