'Pop' in calf?

5 replies

TootToot · 31/10/2006 23:30

For the past few days I have had an aching right calf. If I move suddenly then I feel a 'pop' in the calf and then can't walk properly. After the 'pop' the calf is quite tight and inflexible. Have been hobbling around for a few days now and just wondered if anyone had experience of this before I have to book a doctors appointment?

Book a doctors appointment. If possible go tomorrow. There are a variety of things it could be. Most of them are not serious, but there is a small chance it could be a DVT. Don't want to scare you but please go get it checked out asap.

Ohhhhh hate to say this but my friend had this or at least it sounds the same. was it quite a loud pop?

It was her achilles tendon went? She was in plaster for months and still recieving physio now (she did it in March)

Lets hope it isn't hey!

sorry I miss read your message. Thought you'd only felt the pop once. Probably not a DVT then if it happens quite often but still go and get it checked out quickly.

Thanks for your advice - much appreciated. It feels a little better today - but I expect it will 'pop' again tomorrow if I move suddenly! Will go to the docs on Monday if it does.
