What Is The Treatment For Pain And Swelling In The Calf?
I fell about 2 weeks ago and got a very deep bruise on the right side of my calf about 6 inches up from my ankle. It hurts to walk and the black and blue marks have traveled down to the top of my right foot. The lump has not gone away and it still hurts all the time.
