For those asking about "pop" location, probably better for me to point out how it's just a focal spot that pops in the calf instead of the entire calf. If you watch KD and Dwight Powell to name a couple, you'll see the entire calf ripple/pop, not just a focal spot on the inside of the muscle.
👏👏
Spot on! That’s exactly how I knew I totally this wasn’t an Achilles tear
If it is an Achilles tear it might’ve been a partial rupture
Never-mind It’s he’s been diagnosed with a grade 1 calf strain
Can you look at the Pierre-Édouard Bellemare injury. Here's a link

Athlete is injured.
Coach- what happened?
Team doctor- Uuuuuh, almost got it (watches Dr sutterer on 2x speed)
😂
Doctor's cliff notes
Haha
When I graduate med school, I'm shouting you out in my graduation speech.
So you're planning to become the valedictorian? Great mindset

@@willbrown423 how did you even find your way here?? 🤣🤣🤣
@@TimestampGuy2020 wym
I bet team doctors watch you and just repeat it to the player. Lol
Honestly, I never thought about it like that. But it probably is true
Or they at least make their own diagnosis then go "but let me check with Dr. Sutterer to confirm."
I will do this with my players next time we have an injury
These are NBA doctors, not high school trainers. Those guys know what they're doing
@@tuckerdunagan8565 that's why the chiefs couldnt say whether mahomes had a concussion or not while he could tell based off of one gesture. No high tech stuff required
I did that by sprinting barefoot, after I recovered I continue sprinting barefoot and now my lower leg is like steel can shake off bullets.
Gotta shock the muscle for them gains right boys?
Haha right
I’m going to start doing that for every muscle
Thanks for the idea!
this happened to me cutting grass, pushing the mower up a incline I've done a hundred times, calf said "NO my G I can't do it today" hahahaha! FAM, I let that mower go so fast, while being thankful for a newer model, bcuz the older mower didn't have all those "safety " features like shutting off once you let it go........kaaaaash well spent
People needs to know that there’s more muscles or tendons in the lower leg, almost every everyone jumped into conclusion that it was an achilles
Everyone tends to go worst case, sadly that is human nature.
Either way, this would still effing hurt.
I mean we all could see the pop in his calf. So I really don't understand how ppl assumed it was his Achilles.
@@ChiTownWarrior1 because as the Doc said in the video, the Achilles extends quite a ways up the leg.
You could see the boundary in the video.
@@ChiTownWarrior1 Durants popped in the same spot and it was an Achilles
that looks more like a broken shoulder than an achilles tear
You’re so quick with these videos. Keep up the great work!

👍
This Doc has it down to a science by now
I hope this injury isn't calf as bad as it looks.
"Calf as bad as it looks"
I see what you did there 😏 😂😁👌👍
hahaha you're messed up bro, still funny though

He died
that's messed up but funny at the same time. very smart joke 😉

Beautiful camera work by the operator! Great analysis as well Doctor Brian! ✌️
Really been enjoying your videos man! Keep it up!
Thank you as always ! 💝
Love the vids my guy!!!
this is one of the best preemptive explanations. Dr Sutter. you are good and if i was an owner of a team I would hire you
The only channel where I’m afraid to watch the injury but then relax right after when Brian explains how the injury happened.
So quick with the videos
Good job Doctor good job 👏 👍
Cheers from Montreal 🇨🇦
Great video Brian! I love your content. I know you typically do football/basketball/UFC, however, as a Boston sports fan, I would love to hear more about Dustin Pedroia’s retirement and his lingering knee injuries that caused him to retire. Again, love your content!
czcams.com/video/rbAYcXPhIUE/video.html this is the injury I’m talking about, and he never really recovered. I would also love to hear your opinion on spiking in baseball in general.
Hey men great vid!!! Can you make a video explaining the tommy jonh surgery plis
love this video..
I love seeing these videos pop up cause I love learning about this stuff but I also hate seeing them pop up cause I know someone got injured lol
i usually dont wince or grimace at injuries but your explanations make them so much more gruesome lol im addicted though
Very Educating, Doc, Brian...
Thanks
Watching this video cause Marcus Smart is on my fantasy team
This happened to me while hooping in school. Changed my whole game, hopefully he’ll pull thru
I had the exact same injury while striding on the grass today without a proper warm-up. Calves massages are necessary for athletes who uses their legs an train on a regular basis. It can prevent and relieve legs injuries. I can relate to this because i lived in Thailand for 11 years and ran many races there and the regular massage regimen i had helped me stay injury free even though i used to run 50km or more every week back then. When i came back to the Western world i had zero massage and started developing calves issues within a few months, it may also have been caused by the re-introduction of gluten as i used to eat Thai food on a regular basis with no wheat bread or dairy products in my diet but plenty of fruits !
Just did this today same exact situation. Thanks doc
Screwed up my calf this morning. Had that exact popping sensation happened. Watching Marcus's leg made me feel it all over again. Thanks for info.
When I sprained my calf, the snap was actually audible. At 34, it was my first old guy injury.
@@antheonthegreat1530 in NBA years, 34 is grandpa lol
@@antheonthegreat1530 huh? this is a comment about age comparison not about who's the best player in the NBA, wrong channel bud. no one even said a single NBA player in this comment, seriously get a life man.
@@antheonthegreat1530 -Some of us age like fine wine. The rest of us age like unpasteurized milk that’s left out on the counter.
I’m 35 and am nervous about that stuff now. At 20 I would run into a brick wall and be fine lol
@@bgrady24 -It was really just a lesson in stretching! I’d also run 10 miles a couple days prior, practically out of nowhere. Those are the brick walls to take seriously now.
Prayers Up
Thanks
Get well soon smart heart of the team ❤️
Scary stuff. Get well soon Marcus Smart! - From a Laker fan 🟡🟣
I’ve dealt with calf strains for a couple years. They’re less severe than other leg injuries but they hurt like hell. That and once you get one, they’re more likely to happen in the future - it sucks
Prayin for ya Marcus, hope it truly isn’t an Achilles rupture and we see you back on the court soon.
His name is Brian
Had this a week ago, felt like someody chucked a golf ball at back of my leg, turned around to see nobody there, put foot down and leg was like.. NOPE
I had this happen to me today and didn’t know what was going on. It felt so weird
Doc please perform a review on Caris Lavert's situation, seems that case is not often.
Good morning doc. Three days ago I was helping to carry a patient out of roadside ditch, up overnight a berm, then back down a very steep embankment. I was going backwards so my balance was facing the slop , I took a couple steps down the slope when my right foot slipped down the slope and I had a sudden sharp pain in my right calf, in the meaty area. I was unable to stand. The ER and my PCP both diagnosed gastronomic injury.
Hey Doctor, can you please talk about what happened to the Fórmula 2 driver Juan Manuel Correa, his legs recovery and his most recent updates on his leg? Thank you so much
It's crazy watching this coz it just happened to my right calf chasing the ball last night, the feeling is no joke
Big poppa doc
hey! could you break down Chris Conley's ruptured Achilles from 2017? I think it would be a good one for u to break down.
I’ve had this injury. It felt like someone kicked me in my calf but no pain. As soon as I tried to take my next step, the pain made me collapse and is still the most intense thing I’ve ever felt. Tendons are wild …
How did u treat it????
How did you recover?
@@countryboym109 Heat pad and rest. Tylenol for pain and time ...
How long did it take to recover
You likely had a grade 3.
I'm going into week 4 after my calf strain (from taekwondo). It felt like the worst leg cramp that was accompanied by a pop feeling. Then it was super painful and i couldn't really walk. I just stopped using the boot and ibuprofen this week.
How long does something like this take to recover from. Literally just happened to me today and I can’t walk at the moment. Mine is in exactly the same place doing a very similar movement. Don’t have allot of annual leave at work and hoping it’s not going to take ages. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
I’m a 14 year old and I tore my calf muscle playing soccer in the snow last week. It hasn’t gotten better so I am going to the doctors Tommorow. Wish me luck yall I don’t want to be out for more than 2 months😔
Update us bro
@@just_a_nam3_ next week I’m good he said 5-7 weeks. He first thought it was a stress fracture in my shin but the X-rays showed my bones were good then I got an MRI and it showed half of my gastrocnemius was torn so yeah. I’m good by next Tuesday
@@damienolivares2657 hope it got better sooner
Thanks so much this happened to me and now I know all the details 🤣
Good info but how to avoid this calf strain from basketball in future???
Nice, how to treat the problem. Any special kind of exercise or diet Suggested, please. I am having frequent problem.
Favorite player, thought achilles when he went down, thanks for the heads up
Same injury on july 9, up to this point it's still not fully healed despite rehab and what not.
We'll see what the MRI shows, but I am anticipating a high grade (2-3) avulsion of the gastroc at the musculotendinous junction. May not be season-ending, but I would anticipate at least 6-8 weeks to recuperate.
I had the same exact injury while playing. Back pedaled, to the push off to go the other way and pop, there when my calf. Shit sucks.... magnesium had been a game changer for me, though. No tear to calves since
Oh! I have magnesium…. I’m good Gn to try it
How much magnesium do you take? I tore my calf at the end of year.
Ouch... that smarts !
I was at the gym working out on legs. I had completed calf raises, leg curls, leg extentions all with between 150-225 lbs of weight. Next up was leg presses at approx 300lbs. I completed 2 sets of 10 reps. I felt great going into my 3rd set. 5 reps in i felt a pop in the outside portion of my left calf. Was not even very painful but concerning. I even felt like i could gut out the rest of my reps but i did not. I ceased my routine and have been resting it. I can walk, stand on my toes, but feels like a cramp where the pop happened. Any insight or wisdom on how to proceed? Happened yesterday.
This happened to me 2 x playing soccer. It swells up the leg then the blood drops to the ankle.
Experiencing that right now ... week 1
@@christianlagos3831 OH NO, OH NO... that sucks dude, keep your leg elevated and massage it regularly.
@@THE.SALINAS.O.G. does it heal by it self or need surgery helpppppppppp doooooooooooode
@@Phantom-ez4zv 1 week max it goes away but KEEP IT ELEVATED
Same thing happened to me couple of days ago, how long before it heals and what can I do to speed up the process please anyone?
So whats the treatment for a calf strain? Why do I have little dips in my calf?
You are right it's just a grade 1 calf strain Thank God I'm a Celtics fan
How long does it take for something like this to heal? Especially for a soccer player?
our bodies break so easily
I like this guy. 👍🏽👍🏽
I pop my left calf last Tuesday but went to work the next day with a slight limp.I noticed the injuried calf is much Bigger than my right by a circumstance measurement of 1 inch.I am currently icing it around 5 times a day,why is it STILL swollen up....TY for ur Time
Hi Dr. Brian! I’m currently a first year medical student and I’d like to thank you for your informative videos! They have been a great help with my learning because the sports theme keeps me engaged. Do you have any tips in memorizing anatomical structures for my upcoming exam?
Happen to me hooping thought somebody kicked and has it heals muscle spasm/gives out randomly occur
I've had this injury ur muscle just spasms I've always been curious about this an it come back completely normal gets tiff and continues to move
I had an almost identical calf muscle injury around 12 years ago. My calf hasn’t been 💯 since.
I'm guessing Smart heard the pop and thought his season was over.
Yeah, its not even the injury for why he cried it is just the mental aspect of here ing it pop
I feel like this is going to happen to me. Right below my calf it hurts after I play my basketball games.
favorite player on my home states team
Marcus smart is my favorite nba player I hope he is good
So how long you think he will be would be out for ?
i will guess about 2 weeks
I got Achilles Tendon injury last week😞
The same thing happened to me I play soccer and yes, it snapped pretty loud it’s been three weeks I can walk a little now have to go back to work, however, I have to stand a few hours cause I work at a hospital wish me luck 🙏❤️
Same bro! How you doing ? Are you able to play?
@@alvarochavez8043 Hey Bro I played 4 months after my injury but it was a bad idea cause I noticed I'm not fully recovered I felt tension in my calf so I say I need to strengthen it more and maybe next year ill be 100% back on the field
take care Bro
@@jrpzjrpz24 No way! Take it easy. Hope it heals fast! Will be starting PT tomorrow hopefully that helps out! You too bro take care!!
Sounds like a grade 3 strain
Sign this man to the medical team
Ouch! There it goes the Achilles Tendon.....
How and why did this happen? Over training? Not enough stretching? too much running?
This is like when the Kansas City players leg popped on an onside kick
How long will it take to recover ?
Always stretch slowly and easy. Took me 2 months and a half to recover. Dond do any movement neither massage after 2.months. a lot of ice and pain killers. Light stretch after 2 months . I'm full recover but takes long time
I had this exact injury. I was running trails, up hill, and POP! I initially thought it was my Achilles,luckily it was just this. But it took a good 6 weeks to heal to the point of trusting it again.
I'm on week 1
@@christianlagos3831 im on week 3!! hopefully ill be back playing ball next or week or the week after!
Just finished week 1 from doing this exact same thing in racquetball. Going to take the full 6 weeks just to trust it fully. How did you rehab after the 6 weeks? Walking, then running? Light weights?
Had this happen to me last weekend playing vollleyball. Thought my achilles ruptured, i kept feeling for it but everything felt intact. I had no idea what a calf strain was until then.
Thank you for mentioning the healing time. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my pop from running up a hill. How long before you attempted walking again? Were you on crutches for 6 weeks? I can stand with all my weight on both feet, but to attempt to walk, putting all my weight on one leg, was a no go...hopefully I didn't set myself back, as it feels odd this morning. Can anyone discuss the healing times from experience for crutches, walking, then finally back to sports again?
doc im curious, what team are you a fan of? 😂
I've been wondering that too bro😂😭
"But look again" omg plz stop, this hurts
This happened to me twice in the same position/situation. No fun, I tell you. The first time I was under impression someone inadvertently kicked me as you usually don't expect it to happen (there's no landing/impact with ground, no turning of any joints etc.)
Lol I currently am laying in bed with grade 2 calf tear. I’ve also had a tear twice. And let me tell you that feeling of someone kicking is spot on. For a split second you’re happy because it makes sense someone kicked you rather than your calf gave out. Then you turn around and fall to the floor and realize it was just your calf. It’s been less than a week for me and it’s sad because I’m not going be able to walk for at least a month and that’s with a brace
@@thisisjustanillusion6486 how are you right now? How long did it take you to start walking again? I’m in in the same case, I have a grade 2 Calf tear too I have a week and half like this and I barely can put my foot in the floor, I can’t wait to see the day I can walk again.
@@erickgomez1798 the first couple of weeks are hard. most things will heal 80% in 60-90 days. ive torn my calf a couple times (basketball) it normally heals completely in 3 months. just try to let it heal properly
Going threw this right now playing soccer , I honestly thought someone kicked me 😢😂
i’ve had a right calf strain before
I use to be a larger Long distance runner. My best 2 mile was a 9:10 in my teens. I never really ran the two mile. I did the half well cause that was what My dad did and I got to state and placed well up in the state standings so there was no need to play games to see what I would be better at. In my 20s I did several marathons and could hold a 5 min mile for 14 semi hilly miles in training alone and in the military they clocked me at sub 10 min for two miles several PT tests running in fatigues and black combat boots. They never did tell me how far under ten I did. I am about 6 ft. tall and in my 30s my weight started to climb no matter what I did and I had been lifting in college wrestling and running so I was in the 180 range at 9.5% BF. I went out on what was supposed to be a 6 mile training run and had this same injury happen to my right calf. after it happened It hurt like H*** and all I could do was walk for three months. About five months later I had the same thing happen to the other calf. If felt like I lost about a half in of the tip of the calf muscle and its amazing how much power u lose in that little bit.
Just happened to me 20 min ago. Can’t leave bed and idk what to do…
Rest and massage happened to me last week can't walk right
Sometimes I wonder why I watch these videos, when I always want to look away. I could never be a doctor
We are simple, We see a Brian Sutterer video, we click.
Does anyone know what shoes smart is wearing
So I had this happen while playing soccer exact same situation redirecting my momentum I physically felt a pop .It healed up with little to no issues and like 3 weeks later I’m trying to train calf raises and both calf’s popped but it felt like I cracked it like you would a back in my left calf . The right calf also popped but only once . Trying to push through and do workouts around the injury
This just happened me playing soccer on astro turf. Any suggestions for first day or two? It's really sore to put any weight on it. First time I've heard a pop when straining my calf.
