A member asked:

Leg pain from knee to ankle on outside of calf felt a pop hot or cold compress? i has happened before 6 weeks ago. pain lasted 4 to 6 days.

Heat: Sounds like a strain calf muscle, immmediately after cold is usually more beneficial and later on heat will help more.

If you felt a pop: The injury is sufficiently bad that in my opinion warrants a visit to the orthopedist for proper evaluation and treatment.
