Intense Calf Muscle Pain Followed By Soreness, Bruises On The Back Of Leg Post Continuous Dancing. What Could Be Wrong?
I was at at wedding party and was dancing away and jumping up and down a lot and during this I took a very bad muscle pain on my left calf muscle! As I was bridesmaid I danced on but the following day (sat) until now a huge bruise has spread right down the back of my leg and continues to be sore. I have not banged it and I did not fall on it! Ny ideas what could be wrong with it?
