    Thats quite a big gap between the occurrence and the diagnosis……must of been painful?

    Good news that all was inline and that it’s mending even while FWB from the start.

    Alas muscle shrinkage is something that happens and with the right level of safe but committed physio is something that (reading peoples testimony here) comes back in a short period of time.

    Hi
    No it wasn’t painfull I thought it was just a calf strain
    As the pop and pain came from there so I just got on with my holiday hobbling around .It wasn’t till
    I got home and went to A n E that I knew it was a ATR . Not taking any painkillers just a injection for blood clots .
