sprained calf muscle
(4 discussions)
I was hiking and sprained my calf muscle.
It’s bad enough that I can’t run or jump but can still go on gentle hikes.
I don’t know the proper way to handle it to make sure that it heals correctly, in the best possible way. Can anyone help? Any tips: should I wrap it? Use heat or ice?
Stretches? Just leave it alone? Thanks….

Sprained calf running on Tue AM and still sore like mild cramp on Fri PM. I wonder if staying off helps. Never made much difference in HS when I played soccer and sprined ankles alot ecept for very bad sprains. These normally healed in 2-4 weeks.www.talkbackforum.com – Free discussions for any web page.

I took a physical agility test about 2 weeks ago and 4 days later my calf muscle began to bother me. It’s feels like a knot or someone hit me in the calf. I’ve been using icy hot. What else can I do. Also what are the symptoms of a calf spain or strain. I want to make sure it’s nothing severe.
