Hi, I tore my calf muscle while dancing at the start of July. I rested for 2 weeks then saw NHS physio once I realised it was serious.

He told me ice and rest and gave me an elastic band to pull my toe up and down.

After about 7 weeks it started feeling really good, pretty much back to normal, but I decided to hold off on the exercise anyway and just continue walking and physio.

But then it pulled again whilst walking home from work back to stage 1 where I couldn't put weight on it again.

It now a further 10 weeks from the second pull and it is better but still no where near what my leg originally was. Everyone I speak to says this seems really slow and I should seek a second opinion.

The NHS physio says he can't feel any lesions or gaps and that the second pull was just unlucky but I'm really worried it goes again as it always feels close to "popping" even though I stretch all the time and do my heel raises.

What am I missing?
