What Causes A Popping Sensation On The Left Calf?
Hi I felt a pop in my left calf when I stepped up on a step into my home about 30 minutes ago. It feels weakend to stand on. I am icing it, and rubbed an essential oil on it for strains and bruises. How might I tell if it is something more than just an odd strain? thanks.

Hi welcome to the health care magic
According to history it seems to be muscular strain pain by injury..
You can take ibuprofen 200 mg BD for 5 days
Ice application can be helpful..
Take rest for few days..
Avoid strenous activities..
If no improvement than local part x ray needs to be done
Consult orthopedic surgeon for examination and discuss your case
Take care
Hope this will help you
