[QUOTE][I went home and took a hot bath and soaked for awhile, thinking the pain was due to a cramp in the muscle. After the bath I was limping around the house when suddenly (instantly) the pain went from a 3 out of 10 to a 10/QUOTE]
The hot water was what set it off, you should have put cold ice on it instead and you might not have triggered such a bad reaction
Glad to hear you are feeling better , I know what hitting your shins that hard feels like
