Hello, Current in bed with a cold for 4 days, I was awaken by a throbbing pain in the rear of my left leg. I ve gotten out of the bed and moved to the couch and placed a ice bottle behind my knee. I m unsure as to what s going on but the pain woke me up twice.
Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. I think the most probable thing is a muscle cramp or contracture (spasm). It needs stretching exercises of the calf muscle and massage. If it continues more than 3 days you should see a doctor. I wish you quick recovery.
