Persisting swelling alone doesn't completely rule out a minor fracture or a ligament sprain. Swelling naturally takes longer to subside as fluid pools in the injured area. If you can bear weight and walk a few steps without severe pain, a fracture is less likely. However, if you find it impossible to put weight on your foot, or if the swelling doesn't improve in a few days, it's best to get an X-ray to be absolutely sure. Keep resting, elevating your leg, and applying cold compresses.

Wrapping your knee with Moov and Calotropis gigantea leaves has likely caused a severe skin reaction or chemical burn. Please stop using these immediately. Gently wash the area with cool water and mild soap, and avoid popping any sores. You can apply a thin layer of plain petroleum jelly to soothe the skin. Avoid applying any more oils or creams for now. Because Calotropis latex can be very irritating, please have a doctor examine your knee in person to see if a prescription healing cream or generic hydrocortisone is needed.

Your symptoms, particularly the limited movement and nighttime pain, are quite characteristic of a condition called adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as 'frozen shoulder,' or possibly a rotator cuff issue. These conditions are very common and highly treatable. For temporary relief, warm compresses or over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may help. Please consult a healthcare professional or a physical therapist for an accurate diagnosis and a personalized recovery plan.

It is quite common for a minor sprain to take a few weeks to fully heal. Since the Moov ointment hasn't fully resolved it, you might find relief by switching to a topical gel containing diclofenac or ibuprofen. These generic anti-inflammatory gels work directly at the site to reduce swelling and pain. Gently massage it onto the area two to three times daily. Additionally, try to rest the leg, apply a cold compress, and keep it elevated when possible. If the pain worsens or doesn't improve in another week, please have it checked by a doctor.

I understand how frustrating it is when creams like Moov or Omnigel do not provide relief. Since the pain spreads down your arm, it may be coming from a pinched nerve in your neck or a deep muscle strain rather than a surface-level issue. For temporary comfort, try applying a warm compress to the area and taking oral over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen, which often work better than topical creams for radiating pain. Please avoid heavy lifting. Because this pain is spreading, I highly recommend seeing a doctor or physiotherapist for a proper physical exam to target the root cause and help you heal.

Frequent nightly calf cramps and visible blood vessels near the knee can sometimes be linked to vitamin deficiencies, such as low Vitamin D or B12, or early signs of venous insufficiency (where blood pools slightly in the leg veins). While topical pain relief gels like Moov or Volini offer temporary comfort, they won't address the underlying cause. I recommend having a doctor check her vitamin levels and examine her legs. In the meantime, gentle stretching before bed, staying well-hydrated, and keeping her legs slightly elevated while resting can provide some gentle relief.
