A member asked:
It's been 4 weeks that i was told i tore my calf muscle i still have lots of swelling in calf ankle and foot anything i should be concerned about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See medical provider: The biggest concern after a torn calf muscle with continued swelling is to make sure you haven't developed a blood clot (DVT) in your calf. You should see a provider to rule out a DVT. Once this has been ruled out, it takes a muscle tear 6-8 weeks to heal, but you may have swelling longer than that in your calf/ankle. You should probably be in a walking boot to help the healing process.
