What Causes Pain In Lower Leg After A Fall?

Hi, I had a fall and the left lower leg is so painful and doctor said it was a muscles but it s so painful I can t walk on it even using two canes. Can muscles be that painful? It feels like the lower calf muscles are twisted. He said to take more tramadohl and extra strength tylenol but they don t help. How long would it take them to heal and should I stay off them. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in lower leg after a fall . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like muscle strains , tendinitis , shin splints and fractures . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon again for proper diagnosis . Doctor will take history and order CT , x -ray and examine physicaly . Doctor may give plaster in case of fracture , prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and multivitamin supplement for quick recovery . For now put your leg in hot water tub for 15 minutes daily and drink glass of warm milk with one spoon of turmeric powder in it daily , which will help in quick recovery .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
