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.
I have a mussel like pain in my right cafe (in the rear), about half the way down. It's been about 6 days. I have been taking Iburoffen two pills of 200mg each about two to three times per day some days only twice a day.
Does this sound as it a mussel strain? There is NO discoloration, not hot, or swelling in this area at all. Other than this issue I do feel fine. Please give me your opinion. Thank You , Carl

there are more chances of muscle strain if you have an history of any fall or activity which might have lead to it or else there can be other reasons like worn out shoes,a beginning of varico ae or deficiency of calcium and B12 in either case try hot packs,compression bandage.this will give you relief if it's due to strain or else you need to visit a GP hope this helps you thank-you
