What to do if you have a sprained hamstring and how to recover from a sprained hamstring

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.

A guide to caring for your ankle sprain! Ankle sprains are easy to fall into the root of the disease, learn these 3 tricks and you will no longer be afraid of sprains leaving sequelae!

In the early stages of a sprain, an ice pack or a towel soaked in cold water can be applied to the swollen and painful ankle. Because the cold compress can constrict the capillaries in the injured area, so as to prevent the blood vessels from continuing to leak blood or oozing, thus reducing swelling and relieving pain. After applying cold compress, you can apply bone water or anti-swelling and pain-relieving cream to the local swelling to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

48 hours after the injury, the affected area can be warmed with hot water or a hot towel, and the injured ankle can also be soaked with heated vinegar (2 to 3 times a day for 15 minutes each). Both methods can promote blood circulation in local tissues, speed up the absorption of blood stasis and exudate by local tissues, and facilitate the repair of damaged tissues. If the ligament injury is severe or an ankle fracture is suspected, an X-ray examination should be done immediately in the hospital to determine the condition as soon as possible and to treat the symptoms**.

Ankle sprain, boiling water to soak magnesium sulfate solution, 3 times a day, plus blood circulation and pain relief drugs, the effect should be good. Beg.

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 heat 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.

3.Properly press the sprain area. In the early stage of sprain, it is better to do continuous pressing on the hematoma; After 24 hours, the kneading method is done, centering on the swollen area and rubbing in all directions around it.

4.Conduct activities appropriately. In the early stages of a sprain, swelling and pain gradually worsen, and the affected limb should be elevated. After the condition stabilizes, as long as it is not painful, you can gradually increase the activity of the foot and ankle.

If necessary, spray the wound with a "too good fast" to feel more comfortable. After 24 hours, take some Yunnan Baiyao, bone-setting pills, invigorate blood and relieve pain, and then apply Wuhu Dan externally, and after the swelling is reduced, there is no need to take internal and external medicines.

Sprains generally take 2 weeks to 4 weeks to be completely **, generally just after the sprain do not move around, should be given immediately or within 24 hours of cold compress, so that the vasoconstriction to avoid aggravation of pain and cause swelling and congestion, more than 24 hours after the hot compress can be carried out, to promote blood circulation and congestion absorption, I personally recommend the use of Nanyang Litong Musk Pain Relief Aerosol, I have used it myself and think the effect is good.

Sprains and bruises I hope it can help you: The fastest way to work: Flush water or wine after smashing with Tian Qi, one to two grams each time, within one hour after drinking, the bruise part will be completely eliminated or partially eliminated, but it will continue to attack after five hours, indicating that the medication is very effective, and if it is effective after the trial, it will give you the most effective ** method.
