Pain in the back of my knee/top of my calf muscle?

Question

It hurts and is really tender in the back of my knee/top of my calf muscle. I have used anti-inflammatory cream and that doesn't seem to work. I'm 14 weeks pregnant so no ibuprofen or pain killing drugs. I thought it was a muscle cramp because it was first only in my calf but then it seems to have settled behind my knee. It feels like something is pulling when I go up the stairs. I plan on going to the doctor soon if it doesn't ease up. But I wonder what I can do in the meantime?

Answer 1

you should get some ice on it and try to keep it elevated.if you feel pulling it might be a pulled ligament or muscle.you should go see a doctor a.s.a.p. just to be safe.Good Luck!
