I stepped up on a ladder, heard a loud snap in my upper right calf and it began hurting and swelling immediatey - this was two days ago. I didn t do anything to treat it at first because I was out of town for a Wedding and couldn t rest. Once I got home the next afternoon, I elevated it and put ice on it. Today, the swelling is worse and now my ankle and foot are also swollen. I m 43 and fairly healthy (stay physically active at my job).
