Suggest Treatment For Pain In Calf Muscles
My son just hurt his calf and he seems to think it s an Achilles injury. He was in severe pain for about 5 mins but after icing and Advil seems to be handling it. There isn t swelling but feels like a lump on that calf A quarter way up the calf. He can now put some wt on it but is walking w a limp

Hi there.
Keep the limb elevated. He needs to walk carefully and if needed with support. The lump is possibly a blood clot which will resolve in a couple of weeks. Not to worry.
