A member asked:
Former professional athlete, 30 yo, had a sports hernia surgery 2 years ago. now im tearing my calf muscles all the time. could this be from my calves being overextended from the hernia/surgery?

There is no reason that a sports hernia surgery should be related. Tearing of the calf muscles suggest that you are overpowering a weakened set of muscles. I would recommend you see a sports medicine physician who can assess your mechanics for the activity causing calf muscle tearing and to assess your strength for any inherent problems.
