Sounds like you may have torn or partially torn the gastroc....

hurts like h*ll for a day or two..then you can walk OK...takes about two to three weeks before you can run....if you push it, you will likely tear it again.

I've done it twice.....the second time ended my basketball career...Doc tells me there is some scar tissue buildup in there that restricts the bloodflow to the muscle and causes it to cramp up very easily. Just can't take the pounding up and down the hard court....
