Hi I heard a snapping in my calf muscle when I dropped down from a pull up bar. It happened 3 weeks ago. I did RICE the first 48 hours and stayed off any walking. I had to go to work for a few days and hopped around for 3 days. Swelled up a lot and had sever pain by the end of the day. Have now been off work for two weeks and seeing a chiropractor that is treating my calf with cold laser, ice and electro magnetic treatment. It s getting slowly better but it still swells up a lot and is still sore if I m up during the day. Am I doing the right treatment and how long will it take Thx Patrick
Hi Hope this message finds you in good health. I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern. You seem to have injured 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.
