Ripped calf muscle?!


Question:

Ripped calf muscle?

I run almost everyday, 4 miles or more. My calf was getting sore, it felt like I pulled a muscle BUT I kept running. Last week I was playing softball and took off to a dead sprint and I actually felt my calf muscle pop..alot of pain, but not shooting..more tenderness. After a couple of days I could barely walk on it, but now it fells better..but still no where near good. Did I rip a muscle? What do I do?

Just trying to stay off of it, and icing and heating it. I noticed today that whereas normally, i have rather large calf muscle when walking or flexing..there is NO calf muscle on that leg..it just hangs their like a saggy boob!
