What can happen is that you get scar tissue from the original tear, this creates a bit of a weak point in the muscle. Surrounding muscles around the scar contract in order to protect the weak area.
Worth getting a physio assessment
(I once thought I'd torn my calf, physio examined it and told me there was no tear just locked up muscle and then gave me a few exercises, massage and a quick recovery programme).
Lots of friends - of a certain calf injury age - swear by Skins, and always wear the knee length things to support and protect.
The remedy that I have used to sort out calf pulls has been to do some barefoot running.
My theory is that when you run barefoot then you are running naturally, nerves and muscles working in the synchronised order that they have been wired to do for a million years.
Anyway, it worked for me.
