During a run yesterday, my calf felt like it popped. Seems to be on the back outside of my calf. The spot where the pain is feels like a very small football in outside of the calf. The calf is swollen and today my ankle is black and blue and bloated - no pain in the ankle though. Can anyone shed some light on what I might have done? I can walk flatfooted but can't extend up on my toes if I try to run.
Sounds like you should seek professional advice... My friend had something that sounds similar happen and he had torn a sheath. It got better after three ish weeks, but i don't think it was as bad as your condition
I am coming back after a month of dealing with exactly what your saying. Take it seriously. See a doctor. What I have done to help is ice, antiinflammitories, and I have been seeing a chiropractor that uses active release which has been the best help so far. Do not let it get hardened and scarred it will take longer to heal at that point. Good luck.
If it is a torn sheath, can a doctor do anything for it other than the normal ice and ibuprofin? Thanks for the input.
Do you guys own a lot of cows, or are you talking about calve problems?

This sounds like what I might have. Looks like I might be done for awhile.
Has anyone used the Stick on something like this? I have the same symtoms.
