Suggest Medications For Pain After A Muscle Stretch
Five weeks ago a massage therapist stretched me at the end of the session with three very strong stretches by pulling by my heels/ankles. Within an hour it was extremely difficult to walk, put weight on my left leg and experienced increasing pain in the knee.

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.
As you may have now something called as a muscle pull. Pain will be intense and you need to first stabilize the joint and muscle under a splint or a cast and take a proper clinical assessment and may be an MRI if required.
Post which, with slow and gentle rehabilitation of the muscular system by a physical therapy should regain the functions back.
Understanding that you may have a muscle tear and needs thorough assessment and proper clinical measures to allow the healing. As any injury taken care lightly now leads to future troubles.
