RMT massages leg 2 weeks ago i feel a pain then ever since then calf hurts

[dreaderus]

Is this even possible? I am getting a massage by RMT, and during it she must have tweaked the calf becuase during the session i remember winching, her going "sorry" then forgeting about it.

Then several days later i go for a run and this dull ache in my right calf starts to hurt. I figure it will go away. since then i have biked a few times and ran. so now yesterday nearly 2 weeks since i got the massage, i get up to about 2km into run and I am done, the pain is to much to continue in the calf. Since then i have almost been limping around with it feeling like someone has taken a wooden plank to the back of the calf.

any suggestions? (I think i should have a doctor check it out) Should i let the RMT know?

Sounds like she managed to tear something in your calf. Can't say I've ever heard of that before but I guess it is possible. Talk to her and rest the calf for a week or so and see what happens. You can also talk to your doctor but I doubt he'll have any useful input.

it will go away.

doctor is giving me an ultrasound on my leg after inspecting it.

hopefully it goes away but its odd that the problem intensivies nearly 2 weeks after it originally happened
