Calf strain / tear

Hi all!

I was training for my marathon in 2 weeks and my calf has GONE, I had to get a taxi home as it was so bad I couldn’t do about a 5mins walk to the nearest road

I have been to the psychotherapist and all he had said it’s that it is a grade 1 but still says 4-6 weeks.

I am now on crutches as I CANNOT put any pressure on my left leg as it is so painful, it keeps waking me up in the night and have to limb so aggressively to the loo, I can’t make it and turn back the other way for bed.

This is no doubt the most painful thing I have experienced in years and it has also pulled me out of work for the last week.

Anyone have any tips for recovery as I don’t think this is a grade 1 AT ALL. I am so down atm as I put in so much effort for the marathon and I was so close. So if anyone has experienced this before and had any magic recovery tips or pain relief please give me a hand.

Thanks 👍👍👍
