A member asked:
One of my calfs are bigger because the other has been in a leg cast for 2 months, what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calf size: Your calf which has been in the cast is smaller because of muscle atrophy. If you don't use it, you lose it. You just need to get on an exercise program to build up these muscles.
