I have what i believe to be a "trigger point" in my lower right leg muscle. are there any ways i can treat my condition using things around the home?

Yes: A lacrosse ball can be rubbed against. If it is a trigger point - the pressure can help to break it down.

Yes: you could get a tennis ball and roll on it. you could get a massage. You can also get a friend or family member to locate the point of maximum tenderness and press until you can't stand the pain, back off a little and hold it for about a minute. Then repeat several times. This is called ischemic compression.
