cabletow Jan 2007 6:25pm, 1 Jan 2007 0 posts	Quote Pin cabletow LLL Is your tear grade 1,2 or 3 The way to tell - can you walk now? can you lift yourself off the floor on to your toes with both feet? with one foot yet? can you feel a lump where it hurts or is there a gap? If it is 1 then it will be pain free in 3 - 4 days and you need to start stretching furiously both with knee bent and straight from day 4 and give it 2 weeks. # Grade 2 multiply all times above by 2 and graqde 3 you may need to look at 3 months off or even see a surgeon to get it back together. From what you say it sounds like you may have gone from grade 1 (stiff that you continued on) -> 2 I too did this the Thursday before Christmas. Tried a Boxing day run and made things bad again. As I sit here the calf still feels tight. I am now stretching +++ and have tried a few steps around the house running pose. And all is well but I will give it another week before I go out on the road. The big probelm with these tears is that they feel fine for several days before they get strong enough to run on and going back out too early just sets you back to square one.
