Child injured calf muscle - how to treat?

0 replies

DS (12) was injiured playing football yesterday. He can't put any weight on one foot at all, and the affected muscle is still too tender to touch. Have treated with RICE (but mainly R and E as it's too tender for compression or ice). It's no better this morning.

How long should it take before he sees some improvement? Is it worth taking him to a physio/A&E/GP today, or not?

Thanks.
