MTSS injury - overuse. I might be wrong. That'd be my guess. Id recommend a physio. Use a bread scraper to massage the muscle, reduce load. Strengthen with some heal lifts.
The region looks like a tibalis posterior tendon region. Get an urgent physio appointment, some hands on, consider taping and keep them fingers crossed. I will be at outlaw so hope you make it mate
Will need to work on your S and C after
Your likely describing a tear with inflammation - at least for now. It could easily become a rupture without recovery and treatment. You're looking at 2-6 weeks recovery from a tear compared to 2-6 months recovery from a rupture.
That’s what I was really hoping it wouldn’t be! 😫 sounds like it’s probably best to keep it easy/not do anything for a few weeks… hopefully can get to a doctor asap to confirm it!
@@LewisFordham If there is one thing I would tell my younger self, it is this: "The body will heal when it heals and no amount of wishful thinking or planned schedule will change that fact." The psychological impact of an injury to an athlete is sometimes the most difficult part of an injury. An important fact that most doctors fail to understand. As a result, many athletes feel isolated and ignored when it comes to "down-time" and its emotional impact.
Psychologist called this the "denial stage". The sooner an athlete jumps from denial to acceptance, the faster the recovery. This is also where obsessive compulsive behavior or commitment (< take your pick) (of which, athletes have a heavy dose) becomes either an asset or a liability. The obsessive behavior and commitment it takes to be a successful athlete is what makes an athlete perform better but is also an athletes downfall when injured ... UNLESS ... the athlete flips the obsessiveness toward compulsive recovery rather than simply compulsive training.
Good Luck... and, I hope it is only a minor niggle. Fingers Crossed.
No idea about it but hope it doesnt hold you back 🙈
