Trig Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 played footie tonight and warmed up as usual, even used deep heat, my calves have felt a bit tight the last couple of weeks since i stopped jogging but have just stretched them and theyve been fine, but tonight, took my first touch and it felt like someone slapping the back of my calf with a big rock! Im in agony and can barely walk! Obviously gonna have to rest up and take pain killers, and its gonna smart tomorrow, but anyone got any advice as to what i can do to help ease the pain??

ilicos Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 That could be a snapped achilles tendon. Get it checked out asap mate!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 it hurts at the top of my calf the most, is the achillies not the back of the ankle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Stop playing gay games for a start . Take up a real mans sport, it wont stop you getting hurt, but it'll stop you whining like a girl when you do :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Ok, if it is high probably not achilles. I would still be at the hospital right now instead of here buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarky666 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 You'd barely be able to support your weight standing up let alone walk if it was the achilles tendon so i don't think it's that. Might just be a bad sprain or pull. I remember thinking i'd torn my groin once but it only turned out to be a pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Firstly, ice is your best friend. The old mantra of R.I.C.E. still works a treat for acute injury - so bandage it firmly after using some ice wrapped in a wet tea-towel, and stick it above the level of your heart as often as you can in the first 48-72 hours. Secondly, go and get it properly assessed. This might be your physio, your GP (if they have half a clue about sporting injuries, which *most* aren't too good on), or at a pinch the sports therapist / strapper (if you have one associated with your football club). This will give you the best idea of *what* it is, how bad it is, how long it will take to resolve, and what you should do to maximise your recovery towards playing sport again.
