I had a game on Wednesday night and after about 60mins both calves started to cramp up whenever I tried to sprint.
Got through the remaining 30mins and 10mins of stoppages .
Thursday wasn't too bad, the usual aches and pains after a game just about 10% more painful.
However, Friday and this morning, I'm in agony trying to walk. My calf has contracted so much that I can't put my foot flat on the ground and am having to hobble around on tip toes to stop my calves from stretching at all. I've tried some gentle stretching on the stairs to try and loosen the muscles but nothing is easing it.
Anyone had similar issues? I've always suffered with calf cramps if I don't hydrate properly during a game as I sweat a lot and lose a lot of salts but I've never had pains like this 3 days later!
