Suggest Treatment For Painless Lump On The Calf

I am 30 155 lbs and 5 3. I found a lump about 2-3X1 inches in length on my calf muscle about 3 1/2 weeks ago. It wasn t painful and is most noticeable when my calf is flexed and appears to be coming from my muscle. Visited PCP was directed to apply heat for a week with no change. Followed up and doctor ordered an MRI. She e-mailed me that it came the MRI back normal and that was all. It is till there and has become uncomfortable especially after exercise. Not sure if any further steps should be taken or if I should just let it go.

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.You are probably having muscle pain and this knot is probably arising from muscle mass. But as MRI comes to be normal. Then nothing special is required. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin and trace elements supplements may be useful. You can discuss with your doctor about it.
