the other day I was stepping up to get into my husbands truck and felt something pop behind my left knee. I couldn t walk or sit in his truck without pain, my calves are so tight and painful like i have had charlie horses one right after another and severe pain. The only time it doesn t hurt is if I m not walking or standing. Do I need to be concerned and how do I get this pain to go away?
Hello, We have to rule out possible causes like a peripheral vascular disease. As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
