Had a wee slip on Thursday though I just knocked my Calf. Today my Calf is twice the size as my other leg. I can't put my left foot flat on ground due to pain and when attempting to walk I'm on my tiptoes do I need medical help

Isn't this getting slightly off topic of the OP's calf?

Arguing over pain scales....

You said that no pain is as bad as childbirth. Which is, frankly, a rather stupid comment. But if you had experienced either of these conditions you would almost certainly know that they are frequently a 12 out of 10! And any medical professional would know that too!

I do not believe that any medical professional would actually argue about how much pain somebody is in. The pain they are in is the pain that they are in - and neither you nor ANYBODY has the right to tell someone in pain that they aren't in as much pain as they think. It's insulting and patronising and no, I wouldn't wish to be treated by any so called medical professional who thought they knew what I was experiencing better than I do myself. But fortunately the only ones like that that I mostly come across are on here - real medical professionals don't tell people they aren't in pain, or much pain, when they say they are.

Can't find anywhere where it was stated that childbirth is the worst pain possible? Think you've imagined that one/misread.
