It's always frustrating to be on the injury Couch, but a wise move. Enjoy the cycling 🚵 and swimming 🏊.

Ouchey 😣

Take it easy won't you. Hope it doesn't take too long 'til it's back to 100%.

Hope it heals soon..

Running is a fickle mistress. One minute we're running like a gazelle (well in my head anyway 😊) and the next we're hobbling off to the big IC ☹️.

I hope you recover soon.

It is Irishprincess I feel like a right old woman at the moment.. well... I know I am an old woman..... but you get my meaning! :)x

[Irishprincess Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Old woman? Never floss 😊 But I know what you mean. I have more aches and pains since I've been on the IC. I think running keeps the wheels oiled and turning and my joints definitely need oiled and turned 😏 xxx

I keep telling floss that! Never old!😀

Ooh I had one of those Giv. They come from nowhere! I rested mine for a week but it was no better. I ended up having three weeks off. I think i had a micro tear.

Good luck! 😊

Ouch, that sounds horrid!

[davelinks Graduate]

What is a stained calf muscle!?😁. Sorry to hear about that, a pain in a number of ways! Plenty of rest and gentle massage? Back soon hopefully..😊

Sorry to hear to hear you are still on the couch Gra, but rest is definately the way to go. Better to make sure a strain heals properly, rather than risk it developing into something more serious. I had a nasty calf tear a couple of years ago and believe me, it wasn't pretty!😣 Hope you get back out there soon.☺
