hello forum,

i have never used one of these before, but i am anxious to see if i get any reply that may help me. i run in the mountains here in scottsdale. trail runs of 5 -10 miles at a pretty heavy pace. i DO push myself to hard, long time problem, but i have learned SO much recently about how to prevent something like this from happening again. ok, so i have had a nagging pain in my lower left calf for 3 1/2 months. directly in the middle in the back of my calf about 4 inches above my ankle. i dont recall any specific pop or pain that triggered it. i am in good shape and i am not overweight. i never had swelling or bruising. i have done RECIEPT for many weeks. it seems to vary in pain, but always is there nagging me. i have done an extensive search through the internet. i have no problems stretching it. i have taken vitamins, bananas all the time, arnica, etc. i have had 3 massages targeting the area and reflexology. i am a server at a restaurant and i am on my feet about 35 hours a week. i have not ran since this occured and i am very depressed because of it. running is my favorite friend as sad as that sounds. i cant think of anything else to add at the moment, but if you have any questions about my injury please ask. thank you soo much for your time.
bobby
