My dad s doctor told him he pulled his hamstring. They first thought it was a blood clot until they did x-ray and ultrasound . They gave him naproxen I believe is what it s called. His knee from his foot hurts, his ankle is swollen and now has red blotches. I m concerned and worried I can tell it is extremely painful for him to walk!!!
There might be a ligament injury in the ankle which can go unnoticed in x-ray and blood reports. You need an MRI to assess the ankle swelling. Little exercise with graded walking can help ease the symptom. recommended visiting a specialist close by and take further advice
