Frosty the Snowman, sorry to hear that 
You might have a small tear in your gastrocnemius muscle - would be worth getting it checked. It's a slow recovery, 4-6 weeks.
Good luck

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

How would that be identified - and what would you do to help repair it?

Football last week received some sort of calf injury, right leg, right side of leg. Sore when walking or stretching. Currently deep heating it up although it seems like the problem might be further inside than deep heat can work for. Maybe stay off it for a wee while.

arv,
Impact injury or just over-stretching..?
Sounds like a pulled muscle... you will not be able to use it for a few days..if it prolongs then see someone who knows about these things...pref a sports person, not a GP..IMV

Over stretch in some capacity. Didn't notice it till' after. Thinking I might need a couple weeks off-stairs are an issue right now.
Maybe a good excuse for a massage.

arv,
Guessing..but I have had a good few of these things. Likely to be not so serious if you didn't notice it at the time.
a) A strain is ok-ish and you can generally run them off... might come back to haunt you when you cool down and it seizes up...so a possible.
b) A pull defo hurts and more likely to be instant.. so you probably would have noticed it at the time.. as in a pulled hamsring...you pull up straight away with a bolt-like pain....possibly not a bad version of a pull
c) A tear...doubt it..as you would be in agony with every step...which you may well be, but, again, I think this would have been noticable straight away.
I'd say it sounds like a pull..so will be impossible to put any meaniful weight on it for a few days.
Hot and cold water on it can calm it down and help bring out a bruise.

JT, Thanks for that. I did take a knee to the back of the head at the same time which may have removed from the pain. I'll give it the hot and cold treatment and see how it goes.

I'm no expert, but with any bruising/strains I've had the advice has been to use Ice on the area for a short while every few hours and keep the affected area elevated. I'm not sure deep heat would be a good thing.....
When I pulled my hamstring whilst sprinting, it was, as JT says, an instant pain. The physio did all the things below as well as advising me to take Nurofen to reduce swelling.
The RICE Method: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation

which says

| During the first 48 to 72 hours, or as long as there is any swelling, do not apply heat to an injury. Heat increases blood flow to the affected area, which makes swelling and pain worse. |

There is no difference between these three diagnoses, they are all ways of describing the same thing.

arv, Treat my discriptions as degrees of the injury.
Having experienced all of these, it is there or thereabouts.

FAQ
, i don't send them out to buy these boots...by the time they pay for the recification work, in most cases they would have been cheaper paying full retail price for the boots
