Had the same injury back in December ‘10 except it was my left calf. Happened at work. Sounded and felt like a big rubber band snapped. POP!!.I tore my medial gastrocnemius in my right calf. Achilles tendon is fine so no surgery.
I'm gimping around pretty good for an old grandpa but ready to go back to fabricating.
Not to brag but I have had 18 back procedures, 3 shoulder operations and 1 neck fusion plus military injuries. I am sooo over surgeries. My cervical area is toast. I keep falling apart. Anyone have any superglue?
