Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.
such muscle ruptures are preferably treated well with surgery as leaving them untreated will cause them to become weak and as gastrocnemius is a large and main muscle for weight bearing,it has to be sutured
You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.     
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
