What should i do for calf tedintitus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflamed but why ?: Inflammation can be acutely treated with rice, rest, ice , compression, elevation. Chronic/long term needs more detective work. Why is it there ? Activity, shoe wear, weight, underlying health problems which need to be deciphered. Most will agree modify activity, rest, and oral anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and a good work up if it does not respond. Protect your achilles tendon !
