So I didnt warmup before a 12 hour martial arts marathon and my left calf is really sore
This was 2 weeks ago.
At times I`m perfectly fine,I can hop on 1 leg I can do calf raises etc
Other times I cant even walk :erm:
I think I should stop doing excessive exercise now.Perhaps see a physio?
Hot shower maybe?
 
Yes, go and see a physio, possibly even a doctor.
I tore my achilles tendon very badly earlier in the year and now I am suffering for it.
Doc said I didn't need surgery, but I'm thinking he was wrong.

Yeouch... How'd you manage that? :/
 
Ok so I iced it and gently massaged the muscle will do deep heat before I sleep
By elevation do you mean the muscle must be higher than my heart?

Don't use your legs for a while. Do handstands. As suggested, give Lance Armstrong a call.
 
Muscle pain is due to torn muscle fibres. The harder you work out the more fibres tear. So yes dont over do it with the work outs, its counter productive.

Your body will release glucocortisone which will break down muscle tissue in an attempt to repair the damage.

My 13 year old son was with me... but I'm so [-]unfit[/-] old, when I tried to give it an extra push something almighty just ripped in my achilles just below the calf muscle. :o

And put those drinking plans of yours on hold (hope I'm thinking of the right guy here) Because you feel NO pain when you're drunk:D
