I Pulled my calf muscle last night doing something, I have no idea what. What is the fastest way for this to heal because I am missing surfing today and I don’t want to miss anymore.

A true calf strain at the junction of the tendon and muscle about midway down the leg is generally quite tender and swollen. Walking can be a chore. Ice for sure at first and a tight wrap is a good idea, too. Then eventually heat and gentle stretching with massage.

These can take a week or two to loosen up.
