Suggest Treatment For Pain In Calf And Behind Knee
my 24 year old son has pain in his left calf and behind his knee. His leg is warmer where the pain is. no pain when he is off of his leg and is laying down, He has pain dangeling his leg over the bed and more pain when he stands, he cannot put pressure on it at all. No swelling and no marks on his leg.
Hello I have read your query. There is possibility of calf cellulitis leading to pain and increase in warmth. I will advise you blood investigation like CBC, ESR, CRP test. Another possibility of muscle cramp. he needs increased fluid intake. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and Tens may give you relief. I hope I have answered your questions. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us. I will be happy to answer. Take care.
