    In my opinion the best thing you can do is, as soon as poss, wrap a ice pack in a tea towel and place it around the area for a max of 10 minutes then very gently stretch and walk lightly on your toes. Repeat for the best part of an hour. Taking Ibuprofen helps as it reduces the inflammantion as well as the pain.

    yeah this happened like two days ago and i am looking to get the elasticity back as when i try to walk fast it cramps up on me and it pretty much brings me to a halt.
