What does it feel like when you injure your calf muscle?

New racquetball league started tonight. I get out there and not 5 minutes into my first game, I feel a pop like someone smacked it with something (only they didn't) and now I'm unable to put any weight on it or flex it at all. It hurts a lot but there's no knot or swelling. This is the last thing I needed right before my snowboard vacation to tahoe :(

    Get to the doctor in the morning! You could have injured your tendon. Don't fool with it. Have it checked out! Better safe than sorry--or should I say incapacitated?

    I have had some of those... Absolute rest for a while, will you try the white tiger balm and wrap it up with some warm cloth? You'll have to wait for the doctor's prognosis (hopefully) .
