You could invest in a foam roller too -they hurt like hell but can work wonders on tight knotty muscles. As a quick fix, you could wrap your rolling pin in a towel and use that instead. Just go on YouTube and see how to use a foam roller for calf pain. Don't do too much though, with a foam roller less is more! Good luck

Make sure you do your stretches..
Physio told me that a tennis ball was as good as a foam roller....and less awkward to hold yourself up/balance on !!
