How can I heal the pulled muscle in my leg?

My mom is in her 50's and she sprained or pulled a muscle in her leg (somewhere behind the knee) I know she's supposed to get a lot of rest. Approx. how long might it take for it to heal and what other things should I do to take care of her?

  • Answer:

    For the first 24hr. you should apply cold. After that - heat. There are a lot of gels you can get at your local pharmacy that are for this purpose. The sprain will heal anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks, depending on the level of demage.
