I had lumbar discectomy surgery last year for a bulging disc and for a good year my symptoms really improved. I’ve recently just moved house and probably over did it with the lifting. I’ve been getting muscle spasms/cramps in my left calf and they’ve been so severe I think they’ve sprained or torn my muscle. It’s been 2.5 weeks and I’ve still got sharp pain and a limp. I’m a postie so it’s been really difficult to rest my leg and let it heal. Does anyone have any tips or have I probably done something to my back again.

I was bitten by a dog yesterday, broke skin, bleeding and leg swollen. I remember people being able to claim compensation for a bite but not sure how to do it or if that’s still a thing. Any advice appreciated.
