little help with a leg injury?

[garjagan]

thanks for the advice. I was aware that it could have been nerve problem, but not being particularly medical/scienifically minded I wasn't too keen on tackling any articles on the subject. But now I think I will. If anyone else can elaborate based on the limited details I've given that'd be very helpful.

Do u have Back pain??

[garjagan]

No, the pain is localized directly in the area mentioned. The very top of the calf muscle/at the back of the knee area. I'm wondering if perhaps the problem is that I (absolutely definately) suffered the injury while biking and since then I've had no significant time off the bike, so perhaps I'm constantly aggrevating the damaged part.

Also I heard that strengthening a damaged muscle helps to avoid further injury, so last thurs, before doing my weekly hour of circuit training at the gym, I did a large amount of sets of my calves. On the leg press, the calf press, standing on my tip-toes with a barbell on my shoulder etc, etc. Since sat morning I have had to walk on my toes as it's too painful to let my calves extend, but I'm hoping that this will help. I do naturally have quite skinny calves compared to my upper body, so strengthening/bulking them up seems like it may be beneficial. I'll have to wait and see how it goes. Maybe I'm doing all the wrong stuff!
