Patient discussion about clicking

Q. I have just developed a pain in my calf - feels like it clicks when I walk, an
d is a sharp pain I first noticed thisproblem this morning. As I stepped out of my
car, I felt a sharp pain in my left calf, and it has gone worse as the day hasgone on.
No pain until I walk.
A. hmmm...now as i think of it- fatman's answer seems more logical. but usually p
eople can tell the difference betweenstrained muscle and other stuff. if it was just
a pulled muscle he would have thought of it and naturally massage thearea. no?
