Tuesday, July 29th, I went outside to watch my dogs do their thing, it was raining, I was under my umbrella and when I came in, on my lower left calf I was itching, I told my husband maybe I got bitten by a mosquito, but he said couldn t be as is was raining, the next day and until today my left lower calf has swelled and there is a red mark on the area I thought I was bitten, and when I walk my calf feels tight in the back of my calf, I m having cervical surgery this next friday, I put ice on it, what else could I do, is this a concern, I m not allowed to take ibroprophen because of my surgery coming up.
