Q. Why did I get pain after a long walk?
Hello doctor,
I walked for around 10 km two days back. I am not a habitual walker. I felt cramp twice in my right leg during first 3 km and after stretching it was better. Then I consumed fair amount of water. But, after 24 hours I got severe pain in calf muscles and there is slight swelling. Please suggest some medication or exercise. I frequently face this issue. Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- You are having fatigued muscle due to over exercise by an unaccustomed muscle.
- You can take muscle relaxant with anti-inflammatory and also apply some analgesic gel to the calf muscle.
- Heat and massage therapy will help in early resolution of symptoms.
- You should only do some stretching exercises. It will resolve in a couple of days with the treatment mentioned above.
