A common sports injury, but the calf can also be torn when sudden exertion is needed, such as jumping off a step, or running for a bus. Bruising is often experienced in the ankle or on the outside of the foot, and walking is extremely painful.However if it feels as if you have been shot / kicked in the calf but no pain is experienced thereafter, and you find it hard to stand on tiptoes, then you may have ruptured your Achilles tendon. This is a serious injury that requires immediate medical attention.
