Calf Tear: Sounds like you had a grade iii muscle tear. This leads to weakness that much be regained by gradual restrengthening. It also leads to swelling and scar tissue that needs to be worked out. Make sure you spend time with a manual physical therapist who will work out all of the scar adhesions and regain the strength and flexibility. They are great at that. Dr rich blake.

Calf Tear: Unlikely. After it is healed up, concentrate on strengthening up the calf muscle. Your doctor or a personal trainer can teach you what exercises would be most appropriate.
