I coach a youth Soccer team. We practice on Monday and Wednesdays. Today during my practice session, I was tackling a soccer ball in the mid full back position and dribbled fast moving the ball away from the penalty kick area towards right wing. Then I felt a pop in the calf muscle and first thought I was hit by a stone or rock in my calf and next thing I could n't move my right leg. I realized then that I have injured my calf muscle. I was able to move my toe so I managed to limp to my car and then started driving home. I could fee a numb pain in the calf but not bad as before. As soon as I get home, I had some banana, and a glass of milk and took a mild hot shower and then I began to settled down in front of the computer to search about the calf muscle injury. Since its already past 9 pm I decided to get a doctor appointment first thing in the morning if the condition worsens. Mean while I will take rest and continue applying the ice and compression if necessary. So far I have not taken any pain killer or antihistamine tablets.
During my search, I come across these useful link of Chadwick torn calf muscle page http://www.wachs.org/node/24 and the link in his page to http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/legpainandinjuries/a/calf-strain.htm also helpful.
And I wish I need not to go to this procedure described in this page http://www.conquestchronicles.com/pages/The_Achilles_Tendon_Injury. And I hope I need not to call my manager tomorrow to tell her that I stay home due to the injury. I hate to take day off unless its absolutely necessary.
