Sympathy needed - injury/sickness couch :-(

As the title suggests I am currently on the sickness couch with tonsilitis and the injury couch with an unknown excruciating pain in my left calf when I run. It's only really after I run the actual running is fine, so I've been resting for this whole week but I'm miserable :-( I just want to feel better and get out running again for that feel good factor afterwards as well as the challenge! Hugs needed please

Ugh, tonsillitis - I had my tonsils removed when I was 4 so don't really remember what it's like, but I know it's nasty. Rest and take care of yourself!

Sounds like you've got a bit of a calf strain - again rest is the best thing, and some self-massage (ooer!) - if you don't have a foam roller, try rolling a rolling pin on the muscle, or tennis ball. Patience... you'll be back out there again soon. Get well soon **hugs**

A big hug for you, I understand about all about tonsillitis as a suffer and I have been admitted to hospital a few times as a result. Try to stay hydrated and don't worry you will be back in no time. Treat yourself to running magazine and get better soon!

I feel infinitely worse today and there's no doctors appointments. My ear feels like it's literally on fire and I can't swallow just spitting into a cup. Can anyone please come and do my work for me, massage me, feed me and make everything go away. That would be very nice !
