YYYY@YYYY Doctor: Hi Hope this message finds you in good health.I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.You seem to have strained your calf muscles which generally take around 3-4 weeks time to heel,if given adequate rest,The treatment you are taking is absolutely right,but i guess you are not taking sufficient rest.But still,it will eventually heal.Take analgesics,anti-inflammatory tablets,crepe bandage,rest.Nothing to worry about.I hope your question has been answered.If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.Thanks,Take care,God bless.
