[|Human|] I m 35, 6 2 , 170 lbs, clean medical history, extremely healthy and fit. I tore part of my calf muscle and possible tendons playing softball. My question is about whether it is critical that I hurry up and get an MRI or can I wait 3 weeks until after the 1st of the year so I m not paying my deductible twice? I m able to hobble around, but am staying off that leg as much as possible. Does delaying treatment greatly reduce the effectiveness of surgery?
[|AI|]  Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem k be related to a turned calf muscle. I suggest using painkillers to treat the pain such as Acetaminophen. I also suggest cold compresses for local application. Furthermore, I rexhollari to maintain the area immobilized to prevent further damage. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
