Medial calf (inner head) deformity - how?

I recently decided to checkout my calves in the mirror at the gym after my warm up sets and noticed something way off about my right lower leg. I have never had a pop sound, swelling nor bruising in this leg, I have no idea what had happened.

I plan to get an MRI to get answers, I imagine if it’s torn, there’s more than likely no way to repair it. Just wanted to know if anyone else has seen anything like this. Can’t find anything on the internet.

Interestingly the soleus in my right leg is larger than the soleus in my left leg. Both legs (soleus, medial and lateral) were nearly identical to the left leg.

Any one have an idea?

There is bruising on the right leg but that was from the chiro who did cupping in 6 different spots.

Do you notice any difference in strength? Single legged calf raise?


It’s worth remembering that our bodies are assymetrical.

If you aren’t a competitive bodybuilder and it doesn’t impact your function, it’s not worth getting an MRI over.

Interestingly, yes it is weaker than my left leg on standing calf raises.

Hmmm that’s odd. Does it negatively impact your actual function?

Happens with allot of people I see it all the time

Sometimes its genetics and other times its little tears they did younger that didn't show till they developed their muscles more

Luckily the tendons/ligaments should all still be the same so with unilateral work you can equalize your strength on each side

Haven’t found anything yet. Can still do calf raises, squats, deadlifts, walking lunges.. haven’t tried prowlers, sprinting, or running hills. Jumping height is still the same.

No need for MRI dude I doubt your doc would even write you a script nor would you insurance cover it.

I can understand your concern, for vanity’s sake you would like to have symmetrical calves. Most people have asymmetries in their body.

Nice 680 deadlift broseph

Yeah, sadly you’re right. I’d probably have a hard time getting approved unless I cheat the system, bypass doctor and go straight to emergency room for an MRI which is pretty chitty, unless ER is pretty much empty.

The MRI is just to know what the hell happened. And if it is torn, it is what it is. Just doesn’t make sense that a tear occurred without the obvious symptom of a tear.

Calves were… my pride and joy.

Well you get older and chit happens, you’ll get over it as more and more stuff starts to go wrong.

Lots of people have injuries or whatever that permanently deforms them. Pec tears, bicep tears, etc.
