Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

It could be due to peroneal strain. I suggest the following:

Apply ice over the side of the leg and ankle for 15 minutes once every two hours.
Take the anti-inflammatory medication prescribed to you earlier.
Keep the affected area compressed using a compression bandage.
Keep the leg raised while sleeping.
Gentle stretching over the calf and sides of the leg.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
