What Causes Indentation On The Outside Of Calf?
I have an indentation on the outside of my left calf. I saw my normal family doc today and she referred me to an ortho on Monday, but it s a little concerning as I am an athlete and a gym owner and need a little more detail about the severity of this. Is this a muscle, likely or a blood clot??

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that it can be collection of blood following any injury or muscle sprain. I would suggest you following.
1. Ultrasound of the calf muscles to confirm the diagnosis.
2. Hot water fomentation
3.Voletran gel local application
4. Tablet Brufen gel local application
I hope these steps will help you. Let me know if there is another followup questions.
Thanks
