Experiencing Pain In The Calf Muscle
Hello. I got kicked playing soccer in the calf over a week ago and am a little concerned about it because I still hurts pretty bad. Even waking up at night several times from it aching. I can walk pretty normal but when I try to run it hurts deep in the calf.

Hi,
This is due to contusion of the calf muscles ( gastrocnemius and soleus ).
DIAGNOSIS: Contusion Calf muscle
TREATMENT: 1) complete rest Walking also to be restricted as it causes the calf muscles to contract thereby not allowing it to relax.
2) Hot water fomentation ( increases the circulation )
3) Dicloran gel application.
This should relieve u of your pain in about 1 week.
