Avoid all stretching and exercises. Tk relaxing treatment in physiotherapy. Ultrasonic therapy and IFT treatment is better with rest

In my opinion u need to go for dry needling which is the best treatment for muscular sprain... which is done by a sterile needle inserted inramuscularly with no blood loss... after inserting a muscle twitch takes place by moving the needle to and fro... this technique has instant results to u will be fine in two or three sessions... followed by cold fermentation as there will be a feeling of needle prick after the technique...get well soon take care
Next Steps
Find a physio who is an expert in this technique as every one can't perform as it is a new technique
Health Tips
Cold fermentation is important

If you are unable to put weight on the affected limb it might be something more than just a stretch. You may need physical examination by an orthopedic surgeon in person. By leg, in orthopedics, we understand the area between the knee and ankle. Usual injury in this region is mainly at the calf, so it may be a gastro-soleus complex injury. As suggested earlier rest to the part, cold fomentation etc. may help. Do not do local spray, ointments, gel application etc. and no massage please. That may aggravate the problem. Proper warming up and cooling down before any sporting activity is the key to avoiding such injuries. If you don't feel better in a day or 2 kindly consult your doctor in person.
Next Steps
Ice packs 3-4 times a day Rest Any activity that increases pain is not to be done.
Health Tips
Do not use Gels & sprays No massage
