Torn calf muscle
(2 discussions)
I have nursed my calf muscle for about 6 weeks and just recently injured it again while running uphill. What can I do to promote healing and how long should I take it easy. Basically, what can I do to treat it w/ out spending alot of money on therapy?

I tore my calf muscle last week and went through a lot of pain. First, it was in my ankle then into backside of my knee, along the medial border. The ankle pain only lasted a day or so but the knee pain in ongoing. At this time, I am unable to flex or extend my knee fully. I may have further exacerbated the situation by hobbling for a few days, before all the pain started to occur. What should I do now?
