Pulled Calf ... Day 2

Well its day 2. I find that i still limp but can take longer steps, can apply some amount if pressure on my right foot. I was able to go up stairs using both feet with minimal pain. I'd pain level decreased to two on a scale of ten.

Looks like the ice regimen kept the swelling to a minimum, and i still can't find a bruise in the general pain area so i am hoping the damage to my calf was limited.  I had a chiropractor appointment this morning. Dr Stringer ran PTLMS on my calf. Dr Stringer says that would help breaking up the scar tissue and improve blood flow in the injured area. It hurt real bad ... But definitely feels better afterwards ...

Next, got to figure out whether I should repeat the ice regimen tonight, and need to get on my stretching ... The stretching will be important to align the muscle fibers correctly. I still plan yo swim half hour or so today to keep the cardio part of the training going. I may had abs ... Heavy duty abs since i wint be running for a few days ...
