I injured my right calf 1 month ago with a large tree branch. The wound healed externally very quickly but the calf appears red, tender, and swollen (only around wound) no warmth to the area. I have positive pedal pulses and wonders if I am worrying for nothing. Could it still be in the process of healing?
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Yes it can be in process of healing. Due to injury there is swelling in calf also. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Elevation of limb on pillow is helpful in reducing swelling. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.
