My husband was kicked in the calf and again below the calf by our horse. He is 56 years old. The leg is swelling somewhat (injury was 4 hours ago) He won t go to the Doctor. Do I need to watch for blood clots? What would I be looking for. He s in pretty much pain.
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms of your husband seem to be related to the injury. I suggest to use cold compresses for local application. I also suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen for the pain. I recommend to rest. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
