You can apply a topical pain relief gel like diclofenac (e.g., Voltaren Gel) to the affected areas to help with localized pain. In terms of improving strength and flexibility, you can try doing gentle stretching exercises for your calf muscles, thigh muscles, and ankle. Physical therapy exercises focusing on strengthening the muscles around the knee and ankle can also be beneficial. Make sure to do these exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist to prevent further injury. If the pain persists or worsens despite these measures, it would be advisable to follow up with an orthopedic specialist for further evaluation and possibly imaging studies like an MRI to assess the extent of the injury. They can provide a more targeted treatment plan tailored to your specific condition
