I feel like I have stressed or tore a ligament in the back of my leg. Behind my knee and down my calf is very painful. I can t think of a way I could have done this. My real question is, which is better,heat or ice on leg to help with the soreness.
Hello, Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, ice immediately to help the pain but after a day, while ice will still deaden pain, it won't do anything to the injury while heat will lower inflammation after a day. So will naproxen. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
