I did something like that once to my leg, just crossing the street to my car... something in my calf went pop and it was just the most painful thing. I was terrified for a moment that I'd snapped my Achilles tendon. But I wrapped it up and treated it with heat and cold, and it did get better eventually.

And I'll forgive you for not coming to GMOH only if I can come up and visit you afterwards... :o). It is UP, isn't it? ::needs a map of England::
