Therapy
In general, pain in the lower leg can be treated with the classic painkillers. However, since the pain often has a concrete cause, it is more sensible to eliminate it. In case of muscle strain, there are ointments that not only relieve the pain but also promote the healing of the muscle.
An example would be the horse ointment or Voltaren® . In this case, in addition to medication, immediate cooling, raising the leg and a resting phase would also be indicated. For other diseases such as thrombosis, a medical examination is necessary to avoid complications such as pulmonary embolism. For this purpose, the doctor prescribes blood-thinning medication to dissolve the clot.
