Pain in the… leg.
Posted on March 27, 2009
Most of this week I’ve had pain in the right calf. Walking around and stretching would make the pain subside, but when I stand up, I usually walk with a slight limp for a few minutes. It didn’t feel like anything too serious… until this morning.
Coming into work was normal, I walked to Methodist Hospital and took the train to IUPUI. As I began walking down a long set of stairs, my right leg collapsed. I caught myself on the railing, so I didn’t fall completely, but the leg giving out like that was disconcerting. It was very sudden, almost as if I had been hit. Just standing is fine, but moving the knee-calf-ankle too much means wince-inducing pain. Whatever happened, I think the stairs exacerbated an injury I was ignoring, and now it’s hard to walk even on flat ground.
I looked at websites and self-diagnosed (for whatever that’s worth) a calf strain, though I don’t see any bruising. I may leave work pretty early today to rest the leg and put some ice on it. I was hoping to clean my apartment this weekend, so I’ll just have to see how it goes. I’ll also try some OTC anti-inflammatories and see if they help.
