What should I do if I sprain my muscles and bones? What to do if you have a sprained muscle?

There are some injuries that occur from time to time in life, such as ankle sprains. At this time, many people will think of traditional Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, apply hot compresses, or rub the wound with their hands. However, this not only does not speed up**, but may cause more serious conditions such as swelling and ecchymosis of the wound.

In general, sports injuries are divided into acute, remission, and ** phases, and treatment should also be carried out in stages.

Acute growth period: Immediately apply a cold compress for 20 minutes.

The acute phase usually refers to the acute inflammatory reaction within 24 or 48 hours after the injury, when the injured tissue may bleed, and local symptoms such as red fever, swelling, pain, and dysfunction appear. The patient should stop moving, and choose treatment methods such as cold compress, compression bandaging, and elevation of the injured limb according to the situation. Generally, cold compress followed by pressure bandaging can also be done at the same time.

Cold compresses are generally 20 minutes each time, once every 4 hours; Discontinue use after 24 or 48 hours. When bandaging, you can place cotton or sponge of appropriate thickness on the wound, use a bandage to apply a little pressure, and pay attention to the condition of the bandaging site frequently. If the bandage is too loose or too tight, it should be redressed.

In general, it can be removed after 24 hours of pressurized bandaging.

If pain occurs after injury, external wound drugs such as Yunnan Baiyao (patent medicine) can be used to quickly reduce swelling and relieve pain and reduce acute inflammation. Those with severe pain can take painkillers such as Fenbide, and those with severe congestion can take bone-setting pills, Qilisan, etc. During this period, you should not apply warm compresses or massage the injured area, otherwise it will aggravate the bleeding and tissue fluid exudation, making the injured area more swollen.

Although the wound cannot be rubbed, it can be clicked on the surrounding parts along the meridian and acupoints, which is conducive to reducing swelling and relieving pain. For example, if your wrist is injured and swollen and painful, tap Quchi, Neiguan, and Hegu; If you have an ankle injury, tap the sea of blood and the three yin sex. It doesn't matter if the injured person or family members don't know the acupuncture points, as long as the position is roughly correct.

1. Distinguish the severity of the injury. If you can stand with weight and barely walk after a foot sprain, it means that the sprain is mild and you can deal with it yourself; If you have severe pain in the ankle after the foot sprain, you can't stand or move with weight, press the painful place on the bone, and gradually swell, it means that the bone may be sprained, and you should go to the hospital immediately for radiographic treatment.

2. Use hot and cold compresses correctly. In the early stages of a sprain, a small ruptured blood vessel is bleeding, and a cold compress can be applied to constrict the blood vessel and coagulate to control the progression of the injury. After 24 hours, the bleeding from the ruptured vessel stops, at which point a warm compress can be applied to help the bruising around the sprain dissipate.

First of all, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time, receive professional examinations, and find out the correct diagnosis;

2.Rational use of medications**, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, antineoplastic drugs, etc., to relieve pain;

3.Caixun uses physical **, such as hot compresses, cupping, massage, etc., to promote the relaxation of muscles and ligaments;

4.It is recommended to wear a soft bandage to stabilize the injured area;

5.Periodically perform physical exercise to strengthen the strength of the muscles and relieve the load on the bones;

6.Avoid excessive exercise, reduce strain of muscles and bones, and avoid further injury;

7.Regular supplementation with adequate nutrition can improve the body's immunity and speed up the recovery time.

Question 1: What should I do if my hand tendon is twisted Hello, I should apply a cold compress immediately after the sprain. to reduce the formation of hematomas.

At the same time, it can be applied externally to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Qizheng pain relief ointment. This will make the swelling subside and the pain lessen. It usually takes 10 to 14 days to heal.

Question 2: What should I do if my wrist sprain hurts After a wrist sprain and contusion, I have wrist weakness and wrist joint movement. Minor injuries are usually not significantly swollen and the pain is not very painful, and the pain begins only when the wrist joint is moved substantially.

Severe sprains, which can be swollen and painful in the wrist, unable to move the wrist joint or worsen with movement. Wrist injuries should be timely to prevent avascular necrosis of the carpal scaphoid and carpal lunate. External application of bone injury medicine**, blood circulation and blood stasis, swelling and pain relief, so that the injured tissues can recover quickly.

Problem 3: I sprained my hand tendon and I want to get it right away, I'm already desperate Sprains are one of the closed soft tissue injuries. Under the action of external force, the joint undergoes an abnormal range of activities, resulting in damage to the medial and lateral collateral ligaments of the joint.

Symptoms such as pain, swelling, subcutaneous bruising, and joint dysfunction occur in the joints, which worsen with the degree of injury. In mild cases, partial ligament fiber rupture occurs, and in severe cases, ligament fibers are completely ruptured, resulting in joint dislocation or subluxation, combined with intra-articular slippage and cartilage damage.

External application of plaster is a good method, it is recommended to use "bone ointment" for external application, 272 a cycle, generally used up to heal, no sequelae.

Sheng's ancestral bone and blood ointment 81 flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, the formula is classic, with the ability to relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, reduce swelling and relieve pain, soft and hard to disperse knots, warm meridians and dissipate cold, dispel wind and dampness, connect bones and tendons, strengthen muscles and bones, tonify the kidney and add essence and other powerful effects, for the Qing Dynasty Kangxi court doctor Mr. Mei Lao pioneered, the curative effect is remarkable, since ancient times known in Beijing, Tianjin, Luji, Northeast, Jiangsu and other regions.

First of all, after the injury, avoid continuing to bear weight or walk, and do not rub the wound by a companion.

The affected ankle can be bandaged and fixed in a mild valgus position after 90 years of dorsal extension of the foot and ankle can be bandaged or fixed with a bandage, and the walking can be restricted, and the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment.

Clause. 2. For those with mild symptoms, cold water or cold towels can be applied and the affected limb can be elevated immediately after the injury. At this time, the cold compress can constrict the blood vessels, reduce local congestion, reduce tissue temperature, and play the role of hemostasis, swelling and analgesia. Therefore, after an acute sprain, a local cold compress should be applied as soon as possible.

Elevating the affected limb can speed up the return of blood and lymph fluid, so that blood stasis will not accumulate in the blood vessel injury.

Cold compress method: Put a towel soaked in cold water on the wound and change it every 3 minutes or so, or you can put ice cubes in a plastic bag for external compression, 20 to 30 minutes each time. In summer, you can use tap water to rinse, and the rinsing time is generally about 4 to 5 minutes, not too long.

Clause. 3. If the ankle sprain has been more than 24 hours, it should be switched to a warm compress**. At this time, warm compresses can improve blood and lymphatic circulation, which is conducive to the absorption of bruising and exudate from the wound.

Hot compress method: Put a towel soaked in hot water or hot vinegar on the injured area, and replace the towel after 5 to 10 minutes when there is no heat. Apply 1 2 times a day for about 30 minutes each time.

After the sprain of the joint, it should be treated in time, the principle is to immobilize and reduce swelling and stasis, so that the damaged tissue can be well repaired. If there is a large amount of hemarthrosis, it should be withdrawn in time under aseptic technique to avoid intra-articular adhesions after sequea. Ligament rupture or avulsion fracture that affects joint stability requires surgical reduction repair to avoid recurrent sprains, articular cartilage damage and traumatic arthritis.

Generally speaking, the prolongation of varicose veins of the lower limbs will lead to complications such as subcutaneous induration, ulcers, pigmentation, and wet diagnosis. In the absence of deep venous insufficiency, edema may also occur.

If it is a sprain, then it is recommended that you recover for a long time, there is no way to recover quickly, and it is recommended that you do not exercise too hard during the recovery period.

Your case is generally considered to be a soft tissue contusion that causes a series of swelling, pain, etc.

It is recommended to take Yunnan Baiyao capsules and Panax notoginseng tablets orally to invigorate blood and dissolve stasis, and at the same time apply a towel to the painful area and avoid strenuous exercise.

Soft tissue injury: soft tissue refers to the human body's **, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsule, synovial sac, nerves, blood vessels, etc. When these tissues are subjected to external forces, they develop functional or structural abnormalities, which is called soft tissue injury.

It is divided into acute injury and chronic injury. Acute injuries are divided into sprains, contusions, and strains. Chronic injuries are called strain injuries.

The clinical manifestations are pain, dysfunction, muscle spasm, deformity, etc. Complications that may occur after soft tissue injury include: persistent local fever and swelling caused by vasomotor dysfunction, amyotrophy caused by nutritional disorders, joint instability due to ligament laxity, traumatic arthritis, periarticular ossification, intra-articular loose bodies, etc.

**: All kinds of soft tissue injuries (sprains): directly use the external application of the bone powder, which is administered locally, so that the medicine can quickly penetrate into the injured part, quickly relieve pain and reduce swelling, promote blood circulation and eliminate stasis, and continue the tendons of the bones, so as to achieve the purpose, and it is safe and reliable, and it should be the first choice if there are conditions.

Pain relief and swelling for new injuries in 2-3 days, 3-6 days**. Injuries within 3 months are generally 2-3 pairs of drugs. Severe cases require 3-4 side medications.

Aged wounds require 3-6 pairs of medicines. In case of soft tissue injury, it is necessary to avoid the occurrence of nerve adhesions, muscle atrophy and other sequelae and complications. Notes:

It is forbidden for those with trauma and severe allergies.
