Hello,
I am uk expat in Prague. (Stupid story!!)
Nearly four weeks ago, I stood on a storage radiator that had a solid marble top on it. Anyway didnt realise it wasnt fixed and it slipped and jammed my leg and landed on my calf.
At the time it went purple and really painful. Put ice on it imediatly and raised leg. For a little while it felt like I was getting electric shocks in middle of calf where slap of marble had landed.
Also felt a bit sick for several hours.
Should have got it looked at but got a daughter very ill with Epilepsy. So thought it prob just bruised and would recover.
Now I have rested it for nearly four weeks. (4 wks on Saturday)
But still aches when I walk around the house and still tender if I touch small area in middle of calf. (outside of leg in the middle, half way between ankle and knee)
Anyone have a clue what is up?
Could I have fractured it? Or done something else?
Sorry never had a fracture or any injury in past to compare.
I know stupid, stupid and I should have had it looked at instantly. But thought it would go away. Also trying to cope with hospital stuff for my daughter who is ill.
Due to run the GNR in September. So dont want a permanent injury?
Any ideas? Could it just be internal bruising and just needs another week or two.
Or do I need it x rayed or something?

PS, not running was waiting till I had confirmed place for GNR. Got the place but chucked a slab of marble on my leg!!
