Doesn't sound good: We all have to exercise, use our different muscles, and stretch. As the years go by, things can happen... especially by age 50. If it feels and sounds like something ripped in the inner calf, but the Achilles tendon above the heel is ok, a person maybe tore her medial gastrocnemius calf muscle. Severity depends on how much muscle is torn (type of muscle strain). Can go to see Orthopedics and PT.
