Went for run yesterday. felt sharp pain in my calf. could still walk with some discomfert. its not blue today. self medication?

Could be serious.: There is no way of knowing the possibilities of the calf pain without a more detailed examination. Clearly , when running is involved there could be more serious issues other than a simple strain. To remove all doubt, you will need to seek an evaluation.
