Is It Normal To Get Stinging Feeling From Bruised Calf?

Hi. I am 35 years old and slipped and fell getting out of bathtub. Banged and scraped my leg. Had bruise from calf to ankle. This was about 6 weeks ago. about a month ago which was two weeks after it happened, had it checked by urgent care. They said warm compresses and advil as needed. My question is that I get stingy feelings in my calf and the spot on my leg is still tight and sensitive to touch. Is this normal?

hi,

thank you for providing a brief history of you. Since you have visited an urgent care it played an important role as your injury got assessed. the medicine was fine as well, as to what the physician prescribed.

let's go closer to what you are feeling is a tight muscle. well it's normal that you will have a spot on leg, sensitivity and tightness.

try doing some hot water fermentation and post that do some ankle toe movements along with straight leg raise exercises to get strength in your leg muscles.

meeting up a physical therapist should give an addition to your improvements.

with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery.
