How to treat factor v leiden and a torn gastrocnemius muscle in the calf?
1 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Conservative: Most gastrocnemius muscle strains are treated non operatively with protected weightbearing and temporary immobilization. The factor deficiency doesn't change the plan but increases the risk of hematoma or bleeding problems. If the calf gets really swollen then you might need factor treatments to control bleeding.
