First off let me say I am terrified of doctors so if someone says something may be wrong ill go but otherwise ill just wait it out...


I was playing softball with my kid and her friends and ran for a ball.... Got a strain or pulled muscle.. Hurt bad but liveable..... Took a few days until I had my mobility back. Fine, pulled muscle I thought. I babied it and took it easy and about 2 weeks later I can actually run.

But now the back of my calf looks like I have a light sunburn and my ankle swells by the time I get home from work. Light tenderness around the ankle but no pain anywhere else.

I have not lost any feeling or anything like that.

I can walk fine and like I said I can run now. Even played dodgeball today with the kids ( stretched first this time)

ok. Any ideas of what it is? Should I go see a doc or just take some anti inflammatory type meds.

Looking forward to any and all answers you can come up with.

Thank for the help if you can provide any.
