For about 1 month I have had pain in my left calf every day, especially at night. What should I do?

I saw a doctor by webcam and she advised me to use pressure stockings but I have the impression that it's worse with stockings

Hello Ma'am,

In my opinion, it's time to go for a consultation.

But instead of a doctor, I would opt for a physical therapy consultation first. This professional will be able to provide the advice, but more importantly examine your calf for what is wrong.

No webcam this time. You need the professional to palpate the calf.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
