What can I say, welcome to 50... I just tore my calf sprinting after my dog. If you have dealt with it, helpful hints or excersises. I don't believe I am in the severe catagory that will require surgery. but upper mild to lower moderate range. Currently waiting on an MRI Right now, I dont have enough range of motion to shift gears. http://www.bostonsportsmedicine.com...PaTC4x-4b3r-DBJ_eWcNgaQER4Ge4rg1_pOCcG9FHzf74
