Subject: My calf muscle I think
When I was in Iraq I believe I pulled my muscle going over a wall.  I used one leg to hop over a wall in full gear with my aid bag (I was a medic).  I was bruised for several days, and I could barley walk on it.  7 years later when I try to run or walk for long periods of time it starts to hurt.  When I tried run in the past I was out for a good week.  I have talked to one doctor and he told me not to run on it.  I want to complete a triathlon, so I want to start training for one.  I just don't know where to start.

Did you see a Doc about your leg after it happened?

I am not an expert by any means. I would slowly work back into it, of course I would also consult a Dr and get clearance first. You may be able to start with a Couch to 5k to get things moving, slowly.

You might want to see a doctor that specializes in sports injuries.

Don't know if it was documented or if you're still active, but if it was a documented combat injury, you'll have some VA medical available, too.
