A torn muscle, the term we use in healthcare is a “strain” can have varying degrees of severity. If the pain in your calf muscles is recent, an ice/cold application for 8 to 10 minutes per hour is appropriate until the swelling is gone. You should restrict your activities so that your are not creating more pain. Depending on the severity of the strain, healing should occur in two to four weeks. If the pain persist or worsens, you should seek out a trusted healthcare provider for examination and further treatment which may involve bracing and physical therapy. In extreme cases, surgery may be necessary.
