That's fucking shit mate. I hope you get that sorted out.Be careful with them mate. Make sure you let it heal properly.
Lots of rest, ice, compression and elevation. And get some decent massage done to reset the injured fibres. Ice baths, the lot.
I kept injuring my calf last year (must have done it four times, proper tears!), and I just kept going on it before it was healed and I got DVT which broke away from my leg and caused blood clots in my lungs that nearly killed me on three different occasions.
Been in and out of hospital with my lungs since September (still off work after spending five days in hospital last week) I’m finally getting sorted now.
Got a heart scan on Tuesday to check if any of the clots have gone to my heart or put any further strain on my heart (the first attack of blood clots in my lungs I had caused part of my lung to die and strained my heart).
My wife had/has a DVT. Thankfully it didn't break away and cause more problems but it did damage the veins, making her more vulnerable to have it return.
Now she has to take blood thinners for a couple of days before getting on a plane.
All because she slipped off a kerb a few years ago.
She tripped over the fucked up pavement in front of Jamie Olivers restaurant in sunny Manchester a few years ago as well and had a massive leg for the rest of our holiday.
