|
|
I was running and suddenly it felt like someone hit me below my calf with a rock, I pulled up immediately and it hurt like - to walk or put weight on it. I came home and put ice on it. How do I know if its a 1,2, or 3? I dont think its my gastrocnemius it feels like its below and interior. What do you suggest other than r.i.c.e and anti-inflammatory? thanks. Wish I would have just gone and rode my bike. |

kkrider:
I agree with you assessment, you likely have have torn the soleus muscle. Do the RICE therapy but also get an evaluation by an orthopedic doctor. A referal to a physical therapist is in order to help you rehabilitate the muscle. Treatment of soleus muscle strains includes ultrasound therapy, stretching procedures, deep tissue massage and heel raise exercises.
