Re: Torn calf muscle

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.
