I wanted to know somebody elses point of view. Im trying to figure out if i should go to these workouts with a sore calf muscle or not. Anyway tuesday morning when i went to the workouts i unfortunaltely strained or pulled my calf muscle. I was reading a article online and it said it could take approxamatley 2 weeks for it to fully recover. I mean My dad says to go to the workouts with a sore calf muscle i really dont think thats such a good idea. I mean it hurts when i walk and i cant really play basketball that well because it hurts when i shoot. I talked to my coach about it. i emailed him but still havent heard anything back. I mean what do you think i should do?
ok but should i agree with the article that said no jumping weight lifting or running?
Walk it off. Stretch at night before you go to bed, and stretch after you play. Other than that you should suck it up and play on it, especially if you are fighting for a spot on the team. It will hurt at first running around but you will get used to it and it will probably go away after a couple days of playing on it. People have played with a lot worse…

I mean the best idea is to stay home and rest to healed it, after all you can barely walk, right? and i dont think your “coach” is going to let you play because it can get worst, he is going to put you to the side…

What up Kyle V,
I think if you’re at a place in the season where you can rest it- you may want to consider that. My best advice is to ask a professional- a doctor! Yes- some of us have played with injuries, etc. (but i think most of us who have done that- have made the sacrifice during a crucial game (during the regular season- or come playoff time- so you can suck up the pain if possible). A lot of times small nagging injuries can become big time injuries if they aren’t dealt with.

First off you need to rest and ice it. A “pulled” muscle is a less alarming way of saying you tire your calf muscle no matter if its a small or large tear the best thing to do is rest. If you keep playing and that injury heals but develops scar tissue you are going to be a a greater risk to re-injure the muscle which will be a lot worse then the first pull and take a lot longer to recover from. you need to rest for a few weeks no running and jumping, Do sprint intervals on the stationary bike to maintain your cardiovascular fitness levels and after a few days start doing light no impact bodyweight, elastic and hydrotherapy exercises and stretches to begin strengthening the muscle.
