Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yesterday, I was running uphill when I felt a pop in my right calf muscle. It felt as if someone threw a baseball and hit my calf muscle. I have used ice packs all day so most of the swelling and pain are alleviated. However, I am having trouble walking in a normal way . The affected area is higher in back of my leg than the Achilles area. I am not sure what tendon is involved.
