    Muguet, that sounds horrible. You're worrying me, I tore my calf muscle 4 days ago (I felt like something hit me hard in the back of my calf)... and I haven't been able to walk on it since. I can't flex my foot at all. I'm on crutches. I can kind of hobble on the ball of the hurt leg, but can't straighten it or put the heel down.

    I have an ultrasound appointment in 2 days, am I not supposed to get the ultrasound done so soon? I'm so confused...you said it hurt and made It worse, why is that? I am looking forward to the ultrasound to know how bad the tear is.

    I can't wait to be able to at least walk normally. I thought I'd be able to by now as a friend who tore his calf could walk by day 3.

    Any advice?

    Back in November I hurt my calf. Since then it felt tight, stopped hurting then started again and now it hurts a bit when I touch a certain area. Should I massage it or keep leaving by it to rest

    I suggest you quit touching yourself in that certain area.
