[|Human|] I fell off a foot stool last night and fell a pop in the back of left leg. Knee and hip do not seem injured. The soreness and swelling have traveled up my leg. Difficult to walk, though it appears better than last night. I an laying down and icing area. Should I do something also?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculoskeletal injury.X-ray of the affected leg will be helpful to rule out any fracture or other pathological causes. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals). Supplements of Calcium & vitamin D can be included in diet which will help in strengthening of bones. Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful.
