Calf Injuries?
hey now,
Anyone had one? I did something, I'm not quite sure what, late day Friday. Pain just above mid calf on lead foot towards inside, call it 4 o'clock position. Was able to ride out but after stopping was apparent that certain flexing motions of foot really hurt bad while others not at all. Its a bit better two days on after a lot of advil but still quite noticable standing up or going up/down stairs, less so now walking. Only have the tiniest of bruise so not clear to me if I just jammed the back of the boot into my leg (would have thought more black and blue) or if I did in fact partially tear the muscle. Everything happened so fast I'm honestly not sure if it was the result or cause of a lost toe edge while riding at good speed (but well after the turn). Any prior experience with this type of injury appreciated. Cheers Mike |

Everything snip Mike, I had a similar pain (but I don't remember bruising) after riding powder on a short/non powder board from sitting on the back seat, burning my back leg all day and evidently my front lead leg was riding against the top of my boot. It was sore as can be for several days - but no sharp pain just very sore/tender. It was also the first day in a new pair of Malamutes which could have also contributed.. (was traveling for work, found them on sale in my size, and a good storm dumped 18 inches and my meeting was canceled...... so rented what was left and hit the slopes) Good luck |

Haven't had that particular problem, but I've done a lot of bad things to my ankle... In general, if you have your full range of motion and everything is pretty strong, you're fine and you just need to ice and take it easy until it gets better. If there are some motions you can't do, or can barely do, or if some motions are a lot weaker than they should be, then go see a doctor or a physical therapist as soon as you can. Andrew |

Cheers Mike Do you have your forward lean cranked up, my only guess if that you might have landed on your board hard on the heels and jammed the highback into your calf. |

ps.com: Do you have your forward lean cranked up, my only guess if that you might have landed on your board hard on the heels and jammed the highback into your calf. Yes I ride with it fairly close to maxed out...I thought the same thing too afterwards but the lack of really any bruise at all I'm starting to think it may be something with the muscle. Its 4 full days on now and while most normal stuff there is little or no noticeable discomfort, it is very noticable when walking on any type of incline. Also its not really sensitive at all to poking or prodding. Going to try to rest it until Friday and then give it a go and see how it feels - assuming we still have snow.. freakin 50 degrees and possible showers the next two days |

Fingers crossed it holds up! |
