HELP! Calf pain...

OK all you runners out there....I've been having calf pain as of late after a run and when I get up in the morning. I've rested and iced and taken ibuprofen and it doesn't seem to be feeling any better. As I type, I have an Icy Hot bandage on it...what to do? I've stretched and streched and stretched....please help. I do not want to be sidelined. It actually doesn't hurt when I run, just before and several hours after. It also doesn't hurt when I stand on tip-toes, however it hurts terribly going up and down stairs. It's only the right calf, the other one feels fine.

9 miles!!!

Whoa-it was soooooo humid this morning. I had planned on getting up at 5:00 am to go, but forgot to set my alarm last night. So I woke up at 6:00 am and went. I took a frozen Ultima Replenisher with me and was so glad I did. I also ate some lemon-lime sports beans beforehand and I think that helped give me an extra boost of energy. You could have cut the humidity with a knife though. I was soaked through all of my clothes, not a dry spot on my body. It wasn't the worst run I've ever done, but I felt pretty slow. I definitely run faster in colder weather. I finished in 1:17:59-an 8:40 pace. The good thing is I burned 1064 calories. Not too shabby-considering I ate so much at the neighborhood street party last night. So tonight I think I'll have that mint julep as I watch The Belmont....We went to the beach this morning, so a nap is calling my name now-happy weekend!
