Hi
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic for your health issues.
May I know if any investigations like x-ray / MRI was done after your knee injury before 2 weeks. If not then my advice is you should do. You are complaining of pain in calf and difficulty in bending knee joint there might be ligament / meniscal injury. You should consult orthopedic doctor. Till then you can take Tablet aceclofenac 100 mg as and when required for pain relief (not more than 2 times in 24 hour).
Regards
Dr. Hiren
