How can a patient manage the severe pain in his right leg and calf muscles after a sports injury?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have severe pain in my right lower limb due to an injury at the football match. I cannot move or walk normally, which is very painful when I sit. My sensations are normal. I can feel my leg, but it is very painful. I cannot move and have pain in my right leg and the calf muscles.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq. com.
I think the soft tissues of your leg have sustained contusion due to injury. However, a bony injury can be ruled out with an X-ray. I suggest you do the following:
- Limb elevation and active or passive finger and toe movements.
- A doctor must apply the crepe bandage.
- Apply an ice pack.
- Take rest and do not move.
- Watch for increased swelling, excessive pain, toe or finger discoloration, and fever. If present, visit the nearest hospital immediately.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
