Racquetball Injury

by Gary on August 18, 2011

Today I tore my right calf muscle playing racquetball. At least that’s what the doctor thinks. I knew it must be something more than a muscle strain because it felt like someone had hit me with a racquet.  Tomorrow I have an MRI to find out more specifically what’s wrong.

Any report on the MRI? Hope you feel better soon.

The MRI took about 30 minutes once I got in the machine. I asked the operator of the MRI if it looked like a tear. The only thing she would tell me was that the MRI would be helpful to the doctor and beneficial to me.

So sorry to hear about the muscle! I’ll be praying it will heal soon. Do you have crutches?

I do have crutches from when I tore a ligament playing racquetball in the fall of 2006. I can get around on them faster, but when I’m walking around the house I’ve been doing without them.

That sounds painful. I hope it isn’t too serious.
