Hello doctor, I am richelle. I got a motorcycle accident 3 weeks ago, I am so worried with my left leg, my calf decreases its size and my knee is still swelling but not painful all the time only when I move it up and down without support of my hands and I can walk slowly...what is the cause why my calf decreases its sizes? is there a medicine that would make it back to its normal size? Please help me...thank you.
Hello, It is due to degeneration following the immobilization and due to trauma. Nothing much to worry, and the muscle mass will return to normal shape soon. Do physiotherapy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
