I suffered the same playing squash a couple of years back. Did my knee in first then wearing a support my calf went. It’s because your knee would not of been giving you the support required putting more strain else where. I suggest as I did rest. Unfortunately it’s learning to be patient. I learned the hard way. Hope you’re up and running again in good time.
