Lower calf pain front and back

2018-03-03 02:00:10
I've been having problems in my calf for about 2 weeks after doing sprints in my school gym I believe it's shin splints but I can't tell due to my diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatter

• Sports Taping. • Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

Consult orthopaedic doctor. Calf pain usually is muscular pain. Shin splints usually causes pain in the front. Osgood Schlatter causes pain over front of the leg below the knee cap
