A member asked:
Injured calf while jumping during sporting activity, what could i have injured or torn?

See your ortho Dr.: It is dangerous to speculate about which muscle might be injured until you are examined and further history is taken. If you are in good shape and the jumping is mild, it could be a simple strain, but muscles and tendons are fragile in other circumstances, for example if you are a "weekend warrior.".
