Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my stepson hurt his leg a few weeks ago a kids knees landed right on the muscle and bruised him from the side of his calf to the back and once it healed if he pushes on the muscle it moves on his and it looks like he has a hole on the inner side of his leg he says it doesnt hurt but it definitely isnt right what do i need to do?
Hello, it looks like your step son has lesion in his calf muscles. The superficial calf muscle gastronemius is attached to d deeper muscle through a layer of tissue. If this tissue is injured or damaged, it might produce the abnormal motion of the muscle as in your condition. Check the degree of abnormal movement with the opposite normal leg. Give him syrup zincovit to assist in faster healing. Ask him to rest that leg and prevent over exertion. If symptoms persist after a week, it's better to take an MRI and further hospital management though i am sure it won't be necessary. Thanking you and have a nice day.
