Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my ankle is swollen following a severe calf cramp a week ago. could it be sprained? I feel no pain in the ankle and very minor pain in the calf. my calf feels very good compared to when I got the cramp. The cramp came after a 2 mile moderate walk in which i experienced tightness. I walked thru the tightness and it loosened up. The cramp came later in the day while swimming. I jumped into the pool and felt the cramp in mid air.
