Just Think What Might Happen if I Actually Played Tennis

So I just did a little internet research (gotta love the internet) and discovered that the common name for my injury is "tennis leg" as it apparantly is a common injury in tennis players.  Last year I was diagnosed with tennis elbow after riding mountain bikes on Huntsville State Park trails.  Now that I think about it, maybe avoiding HSP may be the solution to all my tennis related injuries as "tennis leg" is also associated with hill running.
I received my MRI results today; it shows a tear on the medial head of the gastroc muscle which is the inside middle part of the lower leg aka my right calf muscle. I've been told no running for 6 weeks and I'll probably have to wear a boot as walking has been painful the past week.
