Calf muscle. whats the difference between pulling the muscle and tearing it? ran and overextended it. can not stand on the leg at all. any advice

If you cannot: stand "on the leg at all" YOU NEED to see a medical professional as soon as practicable! A visit to an Urgent Care center is indicated. You may have an Achilles tendon damage ! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
