3. Calf Muscle Injuries
Calf muscle injuries can occur as a result of overstretching one or both calf muscles. Symptoms may include sudden pain in the calf, difficulty rising up on the toes, weakness and stiffness in the calf when walking and possible bruising on the calf.2‘Calf Pain.’ Healthdirect, Healthdirect Australia, www.healthdirect.gov.au/calf-pain.
The calf muscle may be strained or torn, and this type of injury often occurs while engaging in sports. The injury may occur suddenly, or it may develop over time.4‘Calf Muscle Injury.’ Calf Muscle Injury | Michigan Medicine, www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/abq4844.
