Pulled/strained muscle

[nahkoe]

Apparently, one can do bad things by simply taking a step.

I stepped off of a curb yesterday and heard and felt a pop in my calf. I made it across the 4 lanes, plus turning lane road before the pain hit me. I got home and visited Dr Google. Apparently, you can pull or strain, or even tear, a muscle in your calf this way. And apparently, my symptoms match up pretty nicely.

I've got a 3 day weekend to recover. Dr Google says the mildest strain would be greatly improved in a few days with all symptoms gone in 8 to 10 weeks.

I need 3 days to be enough time, and I need to be well enough to walk by Monday morning. I don't have a car and I walk just over half a mile one way to work, where I then work on my feet (fast food) for 7 to 8 hours a day.
