My right calf is significantly swollen.... Recently the Muscle won t fire. ,, Le I can t do toe raises on right calf radio, but no problems with left run. I ve had lots of tests but no negative stuff turns up. ALSO I WENT THROUGH A MONTH OF LYNPHEDIMA THERAPY. Also... I have been wearing compression socks and a a triple wrap...... Lot more history ere..... I also have diabetes, Parkinson s and level 3 stinosid
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in calf and stiffness in toe joints which is because of deep vein thrombosis , bursitis or local abscess. I will advise to do MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement . Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing. Follow strict limb elevation, do ice fomentation. Medicine like Trypsin chymotrypsin will help to reduce swelling. If condition doesn't get improve then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , blood test and physical examination and treat it accordingly .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
