Calf is either super sore/injured

[chicagobulls23]

Came back from winter break and I hit legs pretty hard, since I didn't get too many chances to work out legs over break. I did barbell squat, lunges, goblet squat, weighted calf raises. Next day, my legs and calves were really sore, but it just seemed like normal soreness and I could still walk and run pretty normally. 2 days after, my right calf is ridiculously sore. I have to walk on tip toe on my right foot because I simply can't put the back of my feet flat on the ground. It feels unnatural and strenuous to try to do so. I googled around and found some people with similar problems and it seemed like major soreness. Has anyone else had this problem and should I see a doctor or just wait it out?


Thanks

cannot really tell.

It sounds like it just a normal sore from workout. when you have a pain in calves it's normally feel that way.

but I cannot guarantee if you are not injured, but if your calves is swollen or have sometime suspicious, then it probably just a normal sore.

wait for 3-4 days, if it's not better then you can go see doctor.

I would wait a couple days and see if the soreness goes away. I injured my calve and had to stop all calve exercises for a few months, I was boxing and put pressure on it in the boxing ring and injured it again. You can try massaging it and just not straining it to let it heal, if indeed it is strained or a muscle knot in it. Mine felt like a hole was in my calve. Foaming roll and tennis ball fricton massage and trigger point therapy really helped mine

I am actually experiencing the same exact thing brah. I went crazy training calves two days ago. It wasn't too bad yesterday, but today I was limping the whole day. It's especially sore on my left calf to the point of not being able to put any weight on my toes. I assume that it's because my left calf is behind in strength.

I wouldn't worry about it. Just give it a few extra days to rest.

You guys were right, it was just sore. Ha to limp walk for like 4 days but it is basically completely normal now.
