I stepped down from a height onto the ground without arching my foot so all my weight went through my calf.I had a searing pain which felt as if I had torn the muscle.Now I can hardly walk( I can cycle though).It felt like it was quite high up in the muscle but I am now confused as some bruising has come out round my ankle.I am sure it is not my achilles as I have had that before.How long will this take to heal? should I see the doctor incase there has been some permanent damage?

severe bruising around the ankle means torn ligaments in your ankle.rest will fix it. the reason why the bruising has happened a few days later is because the blood in your leg is flowing downward. to alieviate keep the leg elevated. i tore the ligaments in my right ankle, christ it hurt. my leg went black from the foot to the knee. but i did go to the hospital after i did it you should do the same. better safe than sorry.

I dont know...if your calf is injured you better call a livestock veteranarian. LoL...seriously you should get to a doctor and they may need to do x-rays etc...... hope it gets better soon!

Better get your ranch hand to lasso him up from the pasture and call the vet.

definitly see a doctor because if it is serious and you aer walking on it, it may do more damage.
