What Is The Treatment For Pain And Swelling In The Calf?
I had a fall and the right side of my knee and calf is swollen and in pain along with swelling and numbness in the front of the calf. It is worse upon straightening the leg. Also my ankle and foot are swollen. When I fell I felt my knee twist before I hit the ground.

Hi, I think you should go in for x-rays of injured leg. Meanwhile apply ice every hour for ten minutes and strap the leg with elastocrepe bandage and an improvised splint before going for the x-ray--regards
