Suggest Treatment For Severe Calf Pain
I was jumping up and down after a hockey game win. I felt something, pop or snap or go. I m not quite sure how to articulate the feeling. Now the pain in my calf if horrible. I can t put weight on it and movement in general causes pain. It feels similar to a charley horse but much much worse. Is this just muscle strain or something worse that may require a trip to the emergency room?

Hi,
You should go to the emergency department as it could be a tendon tear or rupture, possible a achilles tendon rupture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
