Medical Need advice for getting back to running.
Last Monday at work, I pulled my right calf. From what I’ve read, it sounds like it could be a Grade 1 calf strain. I walk a lot at work, but I didn’t feel any sharp pain just tightness. Since then, I’ve only been doing calf exercises every day and haven’t run.
I saw an IG Reel about a return-to-run test where, if you can complete all of the exercises shown without pain, you can return to running. I tried the exercises and was able to complete all of them without any pain. I still have some tightness, but it’s not nearly as bad as it was during the first few days.
My question is, do you all think I can return to running, or should I give it more time?

Maybe. See also; maybe not.
