Torn calf muscle
(3 discussions)
On Jan. 18th I was playing squash and tore my left calf muscle, is it normal for healing to be slow?
It is a week later with only slight improvement. Is this normal?

Hi my mum tore her calf muscle about a month ago and she is still in pain when she works, she has pain killers but they don’t seem to be working…

I tore my calf muscle two weeks ago and I actually felt it pop. I tried to heal it myself but made it worse but walking around on my heel at work. Now, after seeing a doctor I am in a boot up to my knee and crutches for 3 weeks. He says absolutely no weight on my foot or calf. I am listening completely because the pain is bad. I am also going to rehab next week for ultra sound to try and heal it faster. This injury has really sidelined me for a while.

I tore my calf, and now 2.5 monthes later it is worst than it was when it started. Your slow healing is normal
