I was hit in the upper calf, near the knee and a knot formed along with a bruise. This occurred almost 2 weeks ago. The bruise is clearing up, but there is still a small knot and I am having pain in that spot if I bend the knee a certain way. I there something I can do to help clear this up?
Hi... The knot in your calf is an area of adhered muscle fibers due to injury. Don't worry I were your treating doctor.... I would recommend you to do. Lot if icing in that area... Gently knead the area to relax the spasm and break the adhesion...it will be painful so do it slowly with firm pressure...do apply some moisturizer to reduce friction.slowly stretch the calf muscles... frequently. Hope this is helpful for you... Kindly revert in case you need any further help in this regard...
