Hi... If I were your treating doctor then. I would like to know the details of injury sustained.in detail.as of now with details available with me. I would suggest you to ice up the injured area...keep it compressed with a compression bandage.keep icing your calf muscles ...if possible slowly knead her calf muscle so that it help her in relieving spasm and associated stiffness which be an indirect cause of her knee pain...Don't hang your foot keep it elevated...from foot to mid-thigh...with a pilot... Take it easy on your activities don't try to bear weight and keep attempting movement to check if it is painful. Once these episode gets over.and heal completely I suggest you to have a good ankle glute rehab program... balance and proprioceptive program for 6 weeks... Hope this is helpful for you. Kindly revert in case you need further clarification....
