I am home early because i hurt my left calf. We were pushing on a 4000 lbs sled tryinh to get it to move. it got stuck. all of a sudden i fell 2 pops in my calf muscle, lower leg. Calf is swollen, it does not hurt when a rest, but when i try and walk on it is is ver sharp pain. Like a pulled legiment or something.

So HEAT or ICE...:confused:

Ice after any initial injury to keep swelling down.

Then tequila. :D

Two "pops" in your calf muscle doesn't sound good.

Better go see a chiropractor.

I'm thinking a dose of tittays should get things right.

Remember that similar injury I told you about? The doc thinks I tore my meniscus. Now I have to go in for an MRI, the x-rays didn't show anything.:(

When I push on something heavy sometimes I fart. Not really a popping sound. More like a ripping sound. ice doesnt help.

Ice, and the only reason to see a Chiro for that would be dependent on the dx and if they have a cold laser that would help for said dx.

That's why I try to be careful on here. Getting it examined will tell you alot about the injury that can't be done over the net.

Good luck with your knee, KC.
