| Comment | it's easy to rule out a full rupture - presumably they did the calf-squeeze thing?
but partial ruptures can be harder to diagnose without a proper scan - tendonitis can definitely be painful, but if it's too painful to walk and not noticeably getting any better after a couple of weeks, you should let your GP know as that could indicate partial rupture, which may not heal on its own.
How it happened matters too - did you specifically do something that hurt it, or has it just gradually come on? |
