Both Calf Muscles Injured. What Went Wrong?

Question by Scott: both calf muscles injured. what went wrong?
Today i was playing some fullcourt basketball and i randomly got what i thought was a charly horse in my right calf. i walked it off and kept playing and every time i would start jumping and running hard it would come back. then it eventually started happening to my left calf but i kept walking them off and playing. i took one last jumpshot and collapsed from the pain i got in my left calf. i know it was not from dehydration because i drank at least 3 or 4 water bottles today. I do think it is one of two things, or a combination. i have been illegally taking adderall, which is an amphetamine, for about 2 months now, about every other day, and in somewhat large doses(20-30 mg). But today i tried these energy now pills i found at a gas station and it says they are some type of herbal supplement to enhance energy(link to these pills below). but like an idiot, i took those plus 20 mg of adderall. i will have you know i decided to quit the adderall. But i was wondering, is it the prolonged abuse of adderall that affected my muscles, maybe by draining potasium out of my body, or was it the combination of the 2 or even do you think it could have been solely because of those energy pills because it was my first time taking them?

i really would like to keep taking those energy pills because i feel like they could be healthy based on what i read on the package, but i am done with the adderall.

I dont think it has anything to do with the adderall. when you hurt your left calf you started to put more stress on your right calf and ended up with both hurt. once when i sprained my ankle I would still try to run and jump around (with a limp) and then my other ankle started to hurt because of the increased stress on it.
