How long does it take for a soleus muscle tear to heal in runners?

Question

Two weeks ago went for a 10 k run. Had some calf tightness for a month before that run. Felt no pain during the run but the next day couldn't walk out of bed! Unbelievable pain in the region of my right calf but deeper than the gastroc muscle. I think I've done my soleus. Hurts most when i put all my weight on it with my knee bent. Haven't run for 2 weeks. Feels better during the run but gets worse after the run.

Answer 1

I would definitely ask your Dr. about this you don't want to cause yourself more injury if you start to run on it before it is healed, maybe he/she could give you some exercises to help with the healing and strengthening until you are ready to start running again. Plus getting a proper diagnosis wouldn't hurt either.

Best of luck
