I never realized just how much a torn muscle could hurt! I was shoving a pallet jack under a very heavy pallet at work when my left calf muscle popped like a over tighted banjo string! I can't put any weight on it or walk without being in real agony. Doctors telling me 3-6 weeks to mend. I rode my bike to work and had a little difficulty shifting coming home but made it ok. I'm on my feet all day long at work so this is going to be a real pain in the keister!

Not the same because mine was self-inflicted - I had a large tattoo on my right calf.

I could have gladly gotten off the couch after 1 minute!! Painfull didn't begin to describe it.

I was on there for nearly 3½ hrs!!

That sucker ballooned up real good and was bloody painful for a week, pretty painful after two and still tender after three!!

At least I'll know what to expect when I have the left one done, eh???

When i ripped my calf muscle playing Rugby it felt like the bloke tackling me had kicked me, but not half as bad as ripping your thigh muscle,turning over in bed is allmost impossible.

What is this like the corsican brothers? One of your baby cows tore a muscle and you feel it?

That "pop" makes me cringe!!!
The other one is that tendon back behind ankle. OWWww it hurts just thinking about it.
If you can, enjoy the prescibed drugs.
Wishing you a speedie (or america) recovery!

I have had several badly strained achilles tendons in my youth when I used to run in High school and as a younger man.

Very painful stuff.
