For the past 10 days I have had a pain in my lower leg, around the side from my calf muscle. GP sent me off to urgent care, where I had tests and a scan which showed no clot/DVT. They said it was likely a pulled muscle, but my issue is that due to other health issues, my mobility isnt great and I am not sure I would be capable of anything that would result in a pulled muscle!
I can't take ibuprofen and paracetamol isnt really helping. It hurts most when feet are raised (as in recliner chair) so I have to keep my leg swinging a bit to relieve the pain.
Please, can anyone advise on the best way to manage this pain, and how long it is likely to last if it is a pulled muscle?
