Hi...I was wondering if anyone has experienced a sharp pulling pain in the calf. It happened to me while playing around with my kids. I can hardly walk. It hurts when I try to put weight on my foot.. idon't know if I should see the doctor or give it a couple of days..I am resting my leg as much as I can...please let me know if this happened to anyone...

    You should see an Orthopedic Dr. I was on my fourth day of Insanity and felt something "pop" in my right calf. I could walk, but could not put any weight on my tip toes of my right leg. Luckily, The Dr. said that I had torn the Plantaris muscle and that it would require no surgery. Definitely get it checked out! Until then, RICE, Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate

    Get it checked out. Partially tore mine a couple of years ago. Very painful at first. Became a long frustrating injury because I tried to rush it.
    Good luck!

    I have a calf strain right now (strained during a run on Saturday). Super sharp shearing pain right at the mid-line of the calf where the solius and the gastroc meet. Had to limp back to my car 2 miles, but was able to put weight on it. If you can't, or if it hurts very bad, there is any swelling or bruising then go have it looked at. You may have torn it. Good luck, hope you heal quickly!
