Calf pain on holiday
So I have had a pain/tension in my calf for a few days, I had been on my feet quite a bit, walking etc so assumed that was the reason and it would ease off with rest. But it’s now 5 days later an my foot is beginning to feel numb 😕 does anyone have any advice on what I can do - do I just ride it out or do I try and get something for it.
I’m also on holiday in Spain so I can’t really visit my doc/ms nurse until I get home in 2 days time. (I don’t think a Spanish doc will help as they won’t know my full medical history)
I often get discomfort from spasticity in calf and hamstrings. Stretch, stretch and stretch. But often that won't be enough. My wife very kindly rolls my calfs with a rolling stick like this: https://www.physioroom.com/product/PhysioRoom_Trigger_Point_Massage_Stick_Portable_Flexible_Self_Massage_Roller_Pre_Post_Sport/2267/39591.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw_YPnBRBREiwAIP6TJ210Ufr-rDTLStpLvq5oXJfC8oF5aI8zGzxAs8dDOnv6rw-MY8l-vhoCKxsQAvD_BwE I also have a foam roller. It is painful as hell but the knots get worked out.
@dominics thanks - I have a foam roller at home so maybe try that when I get back if it’s still as bad
