I have a question.  What would you suggest a patient do who has pulled or 
possibly torn a calf muscle, besides the usual rest, ice, compression and 
elevation?  We tried EMS and we're going to try acupuncture.  Any other 
suggestions.  The calf is quite swollen and painful and it's a week old.

Thanks,

Dr. Ben Griffes
