Severe Calf Pain, What Could It Be ?
When I got out of my car this morning I heard a loud pop and suddenly couldnt walk on my left leg...felt like a severe charlie horse..almost like I popped or tore a muscle...the pain is in my calf and after 6 hours I am still in severe pain...tried stretching and walking it off but at times my leg gives out....never had this happen before...what could it be?

Thanks for the query
It would have helped me better if u had told me your age, co morbidities and also your gender.
From the looks of it i think u r suffering from a muscle pain which will remain for a few days. Give that leg rest, apply warmth with a warm towel or water bag. Take Tab aceclofenac 80 mg twice daily after food
