I'm an athlete I have strained calf muscle which hurts behind my knee when I walk or move. Should I stretch or take rest. Its not a much tear just strain.

Hello lybrate user, you should rest the calf muscle followed by cold / ice pack fomentation for pain relief. 1 week later gradual physiotherapy will help in regaining the power and motion of the joint. Thank you.
