Suggest Remedies For Pain In My Leg Below Knee

Hi, i fell during the night when i slipped in the bathroom and have since severe pain in my right leg, from knee down the calf. i try to walk and i can but very slowly and with severe pain. i can move my leg and stretch when doing very carefully. I do not want to go to a dr because i am in Abu dhabi and do not trust the medical professionals here. Is there anything i can do to heal naturally? I do not drink, smoke, do drugs and am vegetarian, also very active (gym). Thank you.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Thanks for your query. As you are having pain i would advice you to have atleast an xray done. avoid squatting and cross leg sitting. Start NSAIDS twice daily. Keep elevation. Apply topical gel. TAKE rest, ice pack application on site of pain. No urgency if pain is bearable. hope to get your follow up query. Get well soon. Take care. God bless you.
