L Lower Leg, Calf Strain

2018-04-21 – 2018-05-07

Grade: 3

Out on a short run, I felt heavy and was. That may have contributed to this. I twitched my left ankle just a bit running on an easy uphill grade. I slowed some and was able to finish, but like previously on my right calf, perhaps I should have stopped. I suspect my earlier lower back issues are involved somehow. It's odd how I'd get one leg hurt, then the other in the same place just months later.

Just lots of rest helped me get over this. Like what happened on my right leg months earlier, this kept getting re-injured as I walked. Overall I think it was connected to my back issues (on the lower left side now). Stretching might have helped but I worry about the bending just grinding up already damaged cartilage.
