Any faith healers in the audience?

I can't walk.

So, I mentioned those Charley Horses I have been getting. The one Sunday night/Monday morning was particularly bad. I took it easy Monday. DH massaged it for me Monday night.
There was some residual pain in the isolated spot of the epicenter of the cramp Tuesday morning, but not bad-- so I went for a 3.5 mile run. Stopped several times to stretch the calf out. During the run, and immediately thereafter, the pain was gone.
However, I must have made something worse because by Tuesday afternoon I could not longer walk on my leg. I iced it. The pain was no longer in one spot, but through mid-muscle to the insertion point at the knee.
Wednesday, I iced it several more times and didn't put any weight on it for the day.

This morning, I still can't walk on it. It doesn't hurt unless I flatten my foot or flex it out to the side (not straight), press on the muscle (it's tender), or try to put weight on it.

I'm not sure what to do. I can't take ibuprofen or anything - pregnancy...
I'm icing it-- but it's been over 48 hours... do I switch to heat? I'm not sure what exactly is wrong so I'm not sure how to respond.
Stretching it hurts, so I'm pretty sure I shouldn't do that.
I'm staying off of it. Even though I'm going stir crazy! Is there any exercise I can do? I'm wondering if I can ride the stationary bike-- but I don't want to make it worse.

I hope it's better in time for the GA400 Saturday morning.... one of the few times I've signed up and paid before race day since becoming pregnant, and I might not make it to the starting line. D'oh! DH thinks I'll be fine by then, though. (Will anyone else be down at the GA400? Let me know!)


I have new running shoes, by the way. I was trying to wait until afterwards... but the salesman was quite surprised on how dead my shoes were. I knew they were because it felt like I was running barefoot... but he showed me some of the signs and acted suspicious that I told him it was only a few hundred miles on them (Deserved-- I was lying. It's been more.) He also pointed out that the shoes don't fit me (I have apparently gone up half a size during my pregnancy.) and that they were TOO motion-corrective for me. I do need motion control shoes-- just not to that degree. He showed on the shoe how it had been forcing me to underpronate because it was set up so much to fix overpronation. I bought new shoes and insoles and socks. I didn't go for the upsale on the new sports bra. It was easy because they tried to sell me a Fiona which stops at a size DD, and, uhh, well.... my breasts don't anymore. I do need a new one, though. I've been waiting for my breasts to stop growing because Enell bras are pricey, and they're the only ones that work for running for me. In the mean time, I'm dealing with bloody chafing. Yum. Yeah, I'll leave the pictures off this post.

Saw my dad yesterday. He was quite concerned that I was planning on the GA400 this weekend. I told him that if something was going to happen, it would be better for it to happen at a race because they'll be people and medical people close by to help-- much better than half way through a normal run. I also told him I'll only be 34 weeks and it's not exactly likely. He responded that I was born before 34 weeks. I was my mother's third kid and she had physiological issues that caused my premature birth. I am having a normal, low-risk pregnancy. My doctor has opined that she won't show up until after my due date, as is most common with first pregnancies. Then he told me one of my aunt's went into labor while hiking for exercise and delivered an hour and a half later before she could even get to the hospital. I told him that it's my first birth and I'm sure I'll be wishing around hour 20 that my birth only lasted that short a time. Again, not exactly common. He also insisted that by the way my abdomen looks, I'm getting close to delivery. It is his first grandchild and I am his only living daughter, so I'm giving him leeway. But he could drive a girl crazy!
I'm due late July, but chances are I won't be having a baby until August sometime. Wish my dad wasn't so worried just because of the problems my mom had. The problems my mom had are not genetic problems... and are not problems I've shown any sign of... But, as I said, he's allowed a little bit of leeway on this-- I know he's just excited and proud!
