Playing dads n lads rugby at weekend i felt a sharp thud in my calf like someone had thrown a rock at me, it took me down

Been resting it but its still pretty sore. Supposed to be going the ring in 2 weeks help!

 

If its muscle strain then work through it, do more exercise, best way to strengthen the muscle.
If its ligament strain advise rest

each to their own tho

 

Ah well. I will have to take your place at the ring, cause am such a good friend.

Kfanksbai.

 

spare passenger place going shorty if you want to tag along

MJ: how do you tell the difference?

 

You could tell by the amount of pain, if its a ligament youl know about it, and you wouldnt be able to walk very well or move the foot up and down. But i suspect itl just be a muscle tear.

depends how bad it is, can you walk ok with it?? does it feel like a torn muscle/sprain??

 

no, I cant walk without pain, every now and then it goes into spasm when i move it too far its not painful to stand

 

Sounds like cramp.

 

Just read your first post...... you may well have partailly of fully ruptured your achilles tendon!! its very easily done and pretty common!

 

fancy playing rugby at your age!

i hope your leg doesnt end up like mine-tightens up really easily until i stop moving,then all the pain drains away.think mine is the achiles tendon........

 

i think this is me...
