Pull your toes towards you and tighten/clench the muscle on the front of the thigh, locking your knee straight. Lift your foot up in the air, about 6 inches off the bed. Hold for 3 secs and slowly lower the leg. The knee must remain straight the whole time you are doing this exercise.

Slowly straighten the knee until a stretch is felt in the back of the thigh, trying to get the bottom of the foot to face the ceiling, one leg at a time.

This can be due to some problem in the knee joint (wear and tear of osteoarthritis) or due to some problem in the back leading to pain in the leg with the swelling at the calf.It should be assessed properly, diagnosed and treated by a physiotherapist.

She requires thorough clinical examination. Kindly rule out DVT (clot in calf vein) by doing a venous Doppler of the affected leg
