A member asked:
I sprained my right calf muscle, what should i do to fix it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conservative: Most calf strains are treated no operatively. Acutely, protected weightbearing and crutches with ice and elevation. When it is feeling better, then flexibility exercises, stengthening, and slowly back to activity.
