Hi,
I had been running and felt an awkwardness in the knee. Later, I felt like I injured my leg below my thigh at the gym doing a step-type exercise. It didn't seem so severe, so I ended up limping but walking for about a mile. Then it was clear I could not walk anymore.
I feel like I injured my right calf, right knee area, and right foot. My doctor took x-rays and blood work for arthritis and found nothing. She said to elevate, apply ice and take 600mg of ibuprofen 3 times a day and do bycicle kicks.
It's been almost two months now. And now, my right foot gets purple and swollen if I put it on a decline (as in sitting on a regular chair) or if I walk around too much. I am in crutches.
Has anyone experienced something like this before? I feel like my doctor doesn't know what she is doing. Any advice?
