Today i was running to my car and felt a 'pop' in my calf. I have partially ruptured my gastrocnemius muscle. I went to A&E (via my GP) and need to be non weight-bearing for 2 weeks, and have crutches.
The triage nurse didn't mention anything about RICE for a soft tissue injury, (rest, ice, compression, elevation). Should I be doing any of that or is it less relevant in this situation?
Thanks.
