L Lower Leg, Calf Strain
2013-04-04 – 2013-06-01
Grade: 3
Painful achilles. Physio on April 30 diagnosed scar tissue on an old calf strain is pulling on the achilles & causing pain. Massaged the scar tissue, and achilles pain went away.
Advised me to take it easy for a week and then ease back into training.
Still feels tight, but that goes when when I've warmed up, which I've been doing properly since I got back.
Caused by calf strain pulling on the achilles.
Kept off impact work for two weeks, eased back via the gym & off road. Orienteering didn't affect it as badly as road running.
