Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Ankle And Calf Caused By Torn Muscle

i had surgery on my foot 7-3-16 and then in my sleep three nights later I stretched and felt a pop behind my knee and some pain in my calf. Two days later i had intense pain in the back of my ankle and calf muscle, ER dr said torn muscle. Last night i had sudden intense pain behind the knee that radiated up into the thigh which was bearable and down into the calf which was totally unbearable. the pain lasted for about 5 minutes then subsided and about 20-30 minutes later it hit again, exact same thing lasting 5+ minutes. No further pain the rest of the night and so far today all is well.

Hello,

It may be due to torn muscle.

For further assessment you may require MRI after orthopedician consultation.

You may require surgical intervention after consultation

Till then for pain you can take tablet acetaminophen
