I know I have been writing a lot here lately but I am scared. I feel like my infection is getting worse and winning. The last 3 days I have had severe calf pain in both legs.

I have tried baths and topical magnesium, I have eaten bananas for potassium. Nothing works. I'm laying in bed every day and wake up worried I won't be able to walk. This is no life [Frown]

Hey takethat89, You can never ask to many questions....

Here's a few things that come to mind>

stretch & massage

Apply ice - Heat pads are also good

light exercise

Physical Therapy!

If it's inflammation - rest the muscles

Nonsteroidal - anti-inflammatory medications

If it dosn't get better you might want to talk to your doc to make sure you don't have any blood clots.

Keep taking the magnesium. Can you do epsom salt baths?

What meds are you on?

I'll move this to medical for more help.
