[|Human|] Hello, I am having this pain in my left leg (the calf and shin area) since yesterday. It doesn t hurt to walk but it is very irritating. I noticed some swelling but no redness or change in temperature. Ligaments were torn from an accident over 20 yrs ago and don t know if this has something to do with the pain. Definitely want to know if it could be a blood clot.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for writing to us, Swelling can be due to ligament injury. You may need, MRI which may shows ligament tear and chondomalacia. Tendon graft may be required to reinforce ligament. If there is osteocyte Chat Doctor. Till time, you can continue use supportive splint or brace. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing. Strengthening exercises along with against resistance exercises will help. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
