Hi, I recently had a cat sink 5 of its claws into my calve and cause puncture wounds. Initially, the areas were sore, but I was able to be mobile. With in 24 hours though, my entire calve muscle is sore to a point that its highly painful to put any weight on it and, the entire area is very swollen/tight and stiff. I ve been icing it and keeping it elevated today, which helped temporarily, but it goes back to being pretty painful not too long after icing.
