I've had a small tear in my calf before and just wanted to make sure I wasn't being a big baby about it 
When mine went I was jogging and there was a very loud and distinct "SNAP" like an elastic band followed by that pain thing you were mentioning. Mine was in the muscle where the achilles tendon attaches. It took a long time to heal completely (with a second tear along the way) although I could walk on it without pain in about a week and even now, although I can run on the treadmill for an hour or more I still feel it pinching in there occasionally.
Good luck with it.
