Suggest remedy for pain in calf muscles
Patient: I developed a pain in my calf while running like a charlie horse or cramp, now its 3 days later and the pain is worse, especially when I walk or go up and down stairs, extremely painful. I am concerned that it could be a blood cloth, but there is no redness in the calf that I can detect and it does not hurt at all when I am at rest, sitting or laying down. Do you think its a muscle injury or blood cloth ??? Doctor: hi,thank-you for providing the brief history of you.As you have a doubt if it's a muscle injury or blood clot, we need a thorough clinical examination of you clinically and also some blood routine as well.Since there is no redness or skin discoloration I feel it's completely a muscular injury and can be helped by simple medication and some exercises.But getting an assessment done for ruling out the doubts will add on a safer note to remove many of the unusual thoughts.regards Jay Indravadan Patel
