Hi Hope this message finds you in good health. I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern. You seem to have strained your calf muscles which generally take around 3-4 weeks time to heel,if given adequate rest, The treatment you are taking is absolutely right,but i guess you are not taking sufficient rest. But still,it will eventually heal. Take analgesics,anti-inflammatory tablets,crepe bandage,rest. Nothing to worry about. I hope your question has been answered. If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime. Thanks,Take care,God bless.
