    Default 90kg weight directly landed on my calf muscle??

    About 2 weeks ago, my boyfriend and I were play wrestling, and as he decided to tackle me, i grabbed my dad to try and hold me up, but instead pulled him down too, in turn my dads body weight, 90kg (directly from his knee) landing on my calf muscle. I immediately knew i was injured, because the pain was so bad i couldn't stand up for an hour. The next day I could barely walk, it was clearly swollen, and even now after 2 weeks, i get these intense pains in the middle of the night in my calf muscle and i have all this spotted bruising on my calf and below it towards my ankle. I'm still not walking without pain either. I've tried icing it twice a day but it isnt helping. What have I done? Is it just badly burised or have I torn something?
