What Treatment Is Suggested For Swollen Calf Muscle?
Hi Doctor, my left calf muscle is swollen and it feels like there is a large hard lump when I press/squeeze it. It's feels cold when I touch it and at times it becomes painful (at first it was a dull ache - almost like it felt "tired" as if I had a good workout). I've had it for about 2 or 3 months and it seems like it's getting worse (bigger and more painful). It's not a tear as I have not exercised or done anything strenuous for quite some time.
