Lower Leg, Calf Strain
2010-03-02 – 2010-04-22
Grade: 2
soreness on outside of calf or far outer shin (tendon?). Injury seemed to be healing after 3 weeks only to have another setback with increased pain a couple days later. At times while running the pain seemed to originate in the calf, but putting pressure on far outer shin seemed to reveal the most soreness. Was sore enough that when laying on left side (injured left leg) it hurt locally at the injury. Pain was most severe when walking downstairs. Finally 5 weeks later virtually pain free. Injury may have been exacerbated (or caused) by running in VFF KSO's, after a week or so of running in VFF Treks and NB100's (no KSO's) nearly pain free. Update 4/22/10: pain free for 2+ weeks now, reduced running, eliminated running in VFF KSO's. All tolled 6 week injury.
VFF KSO's?
