So my right leg has been healing from shin splints the past few weeks. Its been getting a little better, the shin splints themselves seem to have healed. But I ended up straining my calf muscle from walking differently when over compensating for the pain of the shin splint. When I was at school sitting down I wouldn't have any issues with my leg. But walking around a few hours at work I would feel a constant pain in the back of my calf, kind of like when you cramp your leg, but mine wasn't cramped but I just ignored it. And when I got down to the floor to clean a dog kennel I could feel my entire calf muscle just shred! I swear I heard it too. It hurt so bad, felt worse than the original shin splint itself. Walking afterwards it wasnt so bad, only hurt when I had to get back down on the floor. Though on the drive home it bothered me and now that I took my shoes off I can walk right and walking with a bit of a gimp because I can't straighten out my leg.
I don't want to go to the docotors just yet, I might wait a day or so. But all I can say is damn it hurt like ****!
