What are some causes, symptoms and treatments for calf injuries related to running?
Running can cause many injuries and one of them is a calf strain or pulled muscles. If there is a sudden pain in the calf or spasms in the calf there could be a strain. A sure sign of a calf injury is bruises on the calf, foot and ankle caused by blood from internal bleeding. Depending on the grade of the strain there are several treatments for the injury. A grade 3 strain may need surgery so consult a doctor but for other grades: taping the muscle can help reduce pain and a repeat injury and rehabbing the calf with special exercises can help strengthen it.
