Haven t worked out in a long time and have a calf strain?

Rest by immobilization and apply cold compresses within 72 hours, change to hot compresses after three days, massage to increase blood flow in the painful area, it is best to ask a physicist or masseur to help you massage. Adaptive exercise training Stationary bicycles are a good exercise, and running in the swimming pool is also a good exercise, the buoyancy of the water reduces the impact of running. Do a good job of defense, train your calf muscles:

Stand up straight with your feet and use a table or chair as a support. Stand on your toes for five seconds. Lower your heels (as low as possible, super horizontal) and repeat on tiptoe 10 times.

Slowly increase to 30 reps. Do it 2 3 times a day.

Stand facing the wall with your hands on the wall and lean forward with one foot in front and one foot behind. With your back upright and your feet flat on the floor, feel a slight pull on the calf muscles of your back foot, hold the position for 20 seconds to 3 minutes, and then switch to the other foot. Do this twice a day.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

A muscle strain is an injury caused by a muscle that contracts sharply or overstretches during exercise. This tends to happen during long kicks, pull-ups, and sit-up exercises. After muscle strain, the strain site is in severe pain, and the cord-like lump formed by muscle tension can be felt with the hand, and the pain is obvious, local swelling or subcutaneous bleeding, and the movement is obviously restricted.

Immediately after a muscle strain, cold treatment should be applied - rinse the area with cold water or wrap it in a towel to cool the area, and then wrap the injured area with appropriate force with a bandage to prevent swelling. While relaxing the muscles of the injured area and elevating the injured limb, some painkillers and hemostatic drugs can be taken at the same time. Remove the bandaging after 24 to 48 hours.

According to the condition of the injury, it can be applied to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling, and the injured area can be massaged with appropriate hot compresses or lighter techniques.

If the muscle strain is severe, such as the abdominium or tendon is broken, you should go to the hospital for surgery and suturing as soon as possible.

It's not a strain, it's that after you haven't exercised for a long time, sudden exercise causes the anaerobic decomposition of glucose in the body, the production of phosphocreatine, and the accumulation of too much compresses the muscles, and the nerves produce your symptoms, which is very normal.

Just rest for a while

Apply cold to the injured area for at least 10 minutes every two hours to reduce pain and swelling.

Wrap with an elastic bandage and compress the injured area to reduce swelling.

Elevating the injured limb causes bruises to drain from the injured area.

Whether it's cold or hot depends on the injured tissue.

Cold. Numbing the injured area can reduce pain. Cold compresses also constrict blood vessels, restricting blood supply to the injured area, reducing swelling and reducing muscle spasms.

If an area is painful when exercising, or if it swells after exercise, ice cubes may be used. It's best to apply an ice pack every two hours after the injury for about 15 minutes. For general discomfort, apply an ice pack 2-3 times a day.

If it feels too cold, you can put a towel between the ice pack and **.

Fomentation. Usually in the later stages of the injury, a warm compress is usually applied after 4 to 5 days. Warm compresses can speed up the blood supply to the localized area, bring ** cells to the injured area, and soothe tense muscles.

This can be done several times a day with steam, a hot towel or a microwave-heated warm bag** for 10-15 minutes each time. To prevent it from getting too hot, use a towel or clothing to cover it between the heat source and **, but do not sleep on an electric blanket.

I don't know much about this because I'm not a professional track and field athlete, just a basketball player. I hope you can still take your brother to the doctor as soon as possible, although the muscle strain is not too much of a problem, but the sequelae are very terrible.

Apply a cold compress to the injured area within the first 48 hours of injury to avoid bruising, and after 48 hours, apply a warm compress and massage the injured area to speed up the recovery of the injured muscle. If necessary, bruising plasters and other topical agents can be applied to the affected area.

Muscle strains are mainly muscle fiber breaks or small muscle lacerations, and muscle strains should require at least 4-6 weeks of recovery time, during which sports injuries should be avoided. After 4 to 6 weeks, the injured area should be exercised with low force and gradually increased exercise load.

Take a hot bath and rub it while your body is hot, and it won't hurt.
