What Causes Swelling On Calf?
My right calf is swollen and the swelling is not going down at night while sleeping. I did bruise the calf about a month ago but the bruise is almost gone and the swelling persists. At night it feels hot to the touch and my foot tingles most of the time.

Hello,
It looks that this is post inflammatory swelling due to trauma. Sometimes, remaining hematoma may lead to such swelling. If this is becoming red hot again and again then please get it evaluated. You should have CBC and ESR and if necessary you should also have a USG of affected part.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
