Interesting weekend , went to a 40th Fancy Dress Friday had a great night. 5am Saturday woke up with aweful cramp in my left calf, shot out of bed in agony ( scaring the shit out the wife ) tried walking on it and stretching thinking it was cramp but did'nt touch it. Tried the usual RICE theory all day Sat and Sunday morning but could'nt walk or put any weight on left leg so ended up at A&E Sunday afternoon and 7 hours later having eliminated DVT thankfully, they reckon I've ruptured the calf muscle, so in plaster as a precaution and crutches, back friday for an ultrasound and hopefully plaster off. Bit pissed off as due to take little man away for a few days Thursday but not to worry. Roll on Friday and pot off and hopefully not as bad as first thought so should only be weeks and not months.
Woke up with what I thought was just cramp Dylan which caused me to jump out of bed at break neck speed so I'm assuming that's what did it but not sure. Not experienced anything like it tbh but hopefully won't be a drawn out thing, probably know more Friday when they scan it.

She been massaging the wrong bit in your sleep man, But I gotta say I started to get so many ailments of late as I grow older, Sorry to hear this mark and hope you up and running again soon.
Its a painful bastard if its ruptured think of the muscle sheath being a plastic bag with sand inside which is the muscle , all compact. If you tear the bag(muscle sheath) the sand(muscle) comes out. I ruptured mine after keeping playing on with injections for the pain as I was semi-pro . I ended up being fucked up out my own stupidity and now have a indentation mid calf and above a haematoma about the size of my fist. If I kick a football it strains with the first kick and the next day ...... fuck me !
Take it easy young lad, listen to the physio terrorists and do the excercises they show you . It will heal , just dont be a fool like I was for a few quid on a sat / tuesday .

Thanks for the advice Adam, appreciate it. Ive been reading up on it a bit today n fingers crossed it isn't too bad or could be a long old road by the sounds of things. Certainly won't be rushing things as learnt my lesson with a shoulder issue a couple of years back n pay for that at times. Your right about it being a painful bastard !!

You've got me sussed Adam, I was trying to get into my Harem pants ready for a quick " Can't touch this " practice. Unfortunately I can only dream of Mr Kay's athleticism!!
