____Dead Leg
17th June Sunday - Suffered knock on my calf during the final few minutes of the FECA match. Damn pain. Difficulty walking that night.
18th June Monday - Woke up early feeling sore. Met the fellas at Sentosa. Played ultimate frisbee, captain's ball, beach football. No rest.
22nd June Friday - Went for a 5km run with brother at 0030 hrs. Still feeling sore. Completed run strongly. Tried to stretch the sore calf.
22nd June Friday - Went back to NTU for football with the guys. At one point, tried to accelerated but sharp pain in calf disallowed this movement.
25th June Mondey - Back at Sentosa again. Played ultimate frisbee, captain's ball and touch rugby. The calf muscle feels very damaged. At one point tried to jump to catch frisbee. Sharp pain.
28th June Thursday - Soreness is still there. Restricted range of motion. Tender upon touch. Pain extend to lower calf (gastrocnemius to soleus). Noticed a slight swell. Deep tissue knots. Scarred tissue.
Damn pain lah. The reconstruction of the muscle must be hindered due to the amount of activity following the injury. Any toe-off is painful now. What I fear most is that it may lead to a complication whereby the muscle reconstructs around the bone. This will cause performance problems in the future.
But now, my mind is on IPPT. And most probably the stations that I'm going to suffer in will be the broad jump and shuttle run where explosive power is required. Hopefully the tissue heals faster and by next week I can start getting some training. Also, need to apply deep muscle massage to get rid of the scarred tissue.
This is the worst dead leg ever suffered.
