HI ya i fouled a baseball off of my shin/ calf about a week ago and it bruised and hurt but a few days later it felt ok. But now a week later my calf and shin really hurt, especially when i lay down for long periods of time, it feels heavy and sore. How can i get it back to normal?
Hello, Thank you for using healthcaremagic. I read your question and understood your concern. The first period of few days you need rest , elevation of the leg above the heart level and ice packs. Later in the second phase you need physiotherapy to get back the motions. Wish you quick recovery. Dr. Selmani
