Pulled calf muscle

9 weeks post op & going well, cracking on with exercises & walking. Was out on Friday & had to stop sharp because (I think) I have pulled my calf muscle on my operated side…just my luck! hip pain is best its ever been but now finding it difficult to walk due to the calf!

Anyone else done this? using ice, resting up & using Voltorol but its pretty painful (only when I walk, not all the time) & bloody annoying

rant over lol

I am at 14 weeks and doing ok. but I have had the well known calf tightness for the whole time. I was told it is a common issue and should release in time. I just keep doing basic stretches on it and ice.

oh and deep massage if you can get someone to do this.

I’ll try this out!

oh! Bob that is so frustrating! bet you could scream , be careful .. i think we are so pleased in our new pain free movement we push our selves a bit hard at times
becareful and hope you heal soon

thanks Ruth, you’re right I probably did overdo it a bit.
Gonna rest up for a few days, should be fine!
