Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hey. Thanks for writing at HCM. First of all I'd like you to get a X-ray of the leg done. This seems like a soft tissue injury. Take a tab chymoral forte which has the enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin. Take an aceclofenac tablet twice a day and take rest. Hope this helps.
