Calf pain

[tutipups]

for the past 2 days whenever i ski my calf on my right leg hurts really badly. now normally it would be because i ski backseat but the only time im backseat is right before i pop on an ollie. Anyone got any ideas or experienced this before?

you know what's good for calf pain?

if you lick my butthole

 

[Mogulmaster69]

Get stiffer racing boots, that will help with the pain.

you might need to condition if you aren't already, strengthen them calves dawg

is it shin or calf?

Shin usually would be shin bang, and like others have mentioned getting full tilts or modifying them to fit better can help a lot, as well as someone on ns showed a video of how muay tai fighters get rid of shin pain where you get a really hot towel and rub/push down your shin from knee to ankle and thats worked fantastic for me

for calf i honestly have no idea i just wanted to yap about shin bang cure for a bit.

maybe conditioning would work like someone else said

strengthen your legs, tighten your boots, and learn how to actually ski in the front seat.

most people don't realize that you're supposed to be so far forward that you're almost falling over

I've only had calf pain with boots that were too big.

thats what i thought too but both my calfs are the same size yet only one of them hurts. Starting to think it mightve been caused by work.

You can get calf bang. Land too tip heavy switch and your boots will throw you to the back. This will hurt your calf.

 

[michael_bc]

The fact that it's only on one side suggests you got a slight injury somehow or maybe an infection. Ibuprofen and forget about it.

I bruised my calf muscle this way once. Was funky for like 5 weeks

yeah i push carts at work and was bringing like 15 inside and when i was turning them one of them got stuck in a hole in the ground so they all suddenly stopped and i felt my calf hurting. Thing is that happened like a month ago

How much are you tightening the upper cuff? And are you still getting some gapping behind the calf when you rest forward? If that’s the case, your calves are definitely slamming into the back of the boot, which is causing that pressure over time to build up.

Running a spoiler plate in the back upper cuff of the liner might do the trick, however it will increase your forward lean angle by a degree or two. If you can’t run a spoiler plate, using a booster strap could be another possible solution because it allows the boot to flex efficiently with you and will also help snug up the upper cuff as well.

yeah theres definetly space in between my calf and the boot when im leaning forwards. Just bought myself a booster strap and hopefully it helps. Thanks.

Make sure to stretch really well, calves, hamstrings a couple times a day and see if that helps.

 

[railski]

Try getting smaller socks and ur boots might b too tight

Was gonna give this advice. If I dont stretch my calves Im in the worst pain they start to cramp soo bad. I dont fw the spoilers I feel they put too much pressure on my calves and its not always being back seat that hurts your calves. The muscles could just be tight.

Maybe its not a ski issue and you're not drinking enough water? calves can become a victim to dehydration in high intensive exercise or workouts.

hmm might be that... Just chugged 1l of water hopefully that helps

well yeah. If its all of a sudden and not a normal occurrence, your body just might be outside of its normal equilibrium so yeah, id drink more water to see if that helps. Maybe an advil or two.
