    Brief Medical History Overview

    Injured during rugby training

    Physical Agents In Rehabilitation
    Hi,

    I injured my leg last thursday during rugby training i was sprinting when someone tapped my ankle im not sure of this forced me to place my foot down awkwardly but it felt like a sledge hammer hitting the outside of my calf muscle and since then i have not been able to walk properly or put weight onto the leg. At first i couldnt flex my foot up but now i do have a little movement there. There is definately some swelling i have been putting deep freeze gel on it and wrapped it in a creppe bandage which seems to help a little.

    Does anyone know what this could be or how to stop the pain so i can get back to running and walking.

    Thanks

    Paul

    Hi Guys,

    My leg is still swelling up is there anything you can recommend to stop the swelling?

    I would of thought 2 weeks after breaking it wouldnt still be swelling.
