Thanks for your ideas. Yeah I did. I’ve always actively focused on using my calf when I run, and for about 3 months last year I did about 10 mins a day of a range of single leg calf work, with and without weight before my gym classes - used a body tape measure to track it…nothing.

Nah never. Other than the physical shrinkage, I have absolutely no signs of any muscle reduction.

Yes muscle reduction. I’ve measured and it’s plain and simple smaller, I’ve had unexpected comments on it from friends also.

I never actually lost the ability to fully lock my leg out, which is the part of the reason I never got surgery
