Muscle strain? (Back left calf :) )
in Health ·
Hey guys, I could really use some advice here!!
So, about two days ago, I finally got home and was just standing there taking off my sneakers when—I don't even know how to describe it—I just twisted my leg in this super weird, awkward way. It felt like everything just seized up instantly, and honestly, I’m still not quite sure what movement actually caused it! I felt this sudden, intense sharp pain shoot right through my right calf, and for a little bit, I was limping pretty badly. The pain eventually settled down a bit, but it hasn't fully gone away. Even now, two days later, whether I'm just sitting still or trying to get up and move around, I can't walk normally right away. I have to limp for a second before I can find a steady gait again. The weird thing is, there isn't any bruising and nothing looks swollen at all; everything looks totally normal visually. It’s just that whenever I actually touch the spot, it hurts like crazy. Do you think I just pulled a muscle or something? Or is it something else?
