Can a ligament injury cause knee pain, and is ligament pain a ligament strain?

Generally speaking, a strained ligament does not cause knee pain, or the knee and ligaments are injured together.

Or the ligaments caused by the knee injury are also strained, or the ligament is strained when the ligament is strained, and the squatting action is just done, resulting in pain in both parts at once, it should be said that it doesn't matter much.

If you have a ligament strain, rest more; Some wound plasters can be applied to the knee.

If it is a ligament injury in the knee joint, then it will definitely cause knee pain, and the knee joint has 2 ligaments, namely the patellar ligament and the paracruciate ligament. If it weren't for the injury to these two ligaments in the knee joint, there must be another reason.

Does not cause pain directly.

Because ligaments don't carry nerves.

But if even the ligaments are injured.

Injuries to the surrounding soft tissues, bones and muscles are inevitable.

It hurts.

It's too much like the symptoms of a ruptured cruciate ligament, sorry for you.

Most people have a ruptured cruciate ligament, but the pain was severe at the time, and then after recovery, they felt that the straight leg lateral joint was unstable, most people will not be uncomfortable all the time, and swelling is also a normal phenomenon, as long as you don't go to pay for the barnyard strand weaving half tethered stem activity. As for the ringing, it is also one of the symptoms of rupture.

Cruciate ligament rupture is very easy to cause meniscus injury, most of which is caused by not paying attention to it after the rupture and continuing to exercise, so you still have the possibility that the meniscus is intact.

There are no consequences, if you still want to exercise in the future, then you will go to a big hospital for surgery (North 3), this is the conventional ** method, surgery for one week, recovery for at least three months, if the recovery is successful, most people feel the same as before.

Patients with ligament pain may have factors such as ligament trauma and excessive ligament fatigue, as follows:

Clause. 1. Ligament trauma: Some patients will have such symptoms due to ligament trauma, such as when the patient performs strenuous activities on a certain joint, it may cause ligaments in a certain area to be strained, and the patient will have painful symptoms. In addition, there are many patients who do not take timely and appropriate ** after ligament injury, resulting in the old injury here can not be recovered, and ligament pain will be intermittent.

Clause. 2. Excessive fatigue of ligaments: Some patients may experience painful symptoms due to excessive fatigue of ligaments. If you do high-intensity exercise for a long time, or if you stay in a certain position for a long time, this will lead to long-term overstretching of the ligaments, resulting in fatigue and then pain.

This needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and then in most cases it is a ligament strain, but it is possible that our non-professional or non-medical personnel cannot determine whether the pain site is a ligament, so it is recommended that you go to the hospital to have a look, or find a professional medical worker to inquire, which is more reliable.

Not necessarily, it may also be a tendon strain, which depends on how painful it is, and it also depends on the place where the ligament hurts.

There are several ways to determine the damage of the ligament:

1. Symptoms. If there is a snapping sound at the time of injury, it is often a sound that is characteristic of ligament injury, and there will be severe pain in the injury and limited joint movement. Clause.

2. Physical examination. In the case of ligament injury, there will be obvious swelling in the ligament belt travel area, and even bruising, ecchymosis, and there will be relaxation in a certain direction of the joint where the ligament is located during physical examination, and the range of motion of the joint will be reduced. Clause.

3. Relevant inspections. Nowadays, the most commonly used is joint MRI to determine ligament injury, if the ligament continuity is interrupted or ligament edema-like changes are seen in the MRI, ligament injury can be determined. Based on the above, the diagnosis of ligament injury can be based on the patient's symptoms, signs, physical examination and related auxiliary examinations, such as MRI, which can determine whether the ligament is strained.

The common causes of ligament pain are injury, strain, inflammatory reaction, ischemia, destruction, and metabolic diseases, such as local ligament injury and strain, which will lead to bleeding, congestion, edema, inflammatory reactions, and corresponding swelling and pain.

After a cruciate ligament injury, the patient may experience pain or soreness, and there will be a popping sound. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital as soon as possible for an MRI to see the condition of the cruciate ligament, if there is joint instability or meniscus injury, surgery is required**. Usually pay attention to rest, try to avoid strenuous exercise, and strengthen diet at the same time.

Yes, this is prone to occur when you suddenly exert force, or when you push and pull to press an object.

No problem, these are normal reactions.

The leg press should be gradual and not rushed.

Ligaments and muscles need to be adapted slowly, and if you make a little progress every day, you will get results after a long time.

Don't force the movements now, just do more warm-ups.

I'll be fine for a week longer.

In this case, it is recommended that you go to the orthopedic department of the local tertiary hospital for a check-up**.

A ligament is the tissue that connects two bones. There are two most common types of ligament strains: ligament strains on the outside of the ankle joint, which is what we usually call crooked feet; and ligament strains in the knee joint (detailed in the Knee Pain section later).

Swelling and bruising can occur at the site of a ligament strain, and the best way to get a ligament strain is to do the following immediately after the strain:

1.Rest, stop exercising immediately, and don't put any more weight on the injured joint.

2.Cold. Ice cubes or other cold compresses can help reduce pain and swelling because lowering the temperature can reduce blood circulation. Apply a cold compress for 15 to 20 minutes three to four times a day.

3.Oppress. Compression of the injured area with bandages or other methods can reduce bleeding and bruising. The tightness of the bandage should be moderate, you can feel the pressure but it won't make your ends tingle or ischemia.

4.Elevate the affected limb. The main purpose of elevating the affected limb is to reduce swelling and promote blood return.

5.After about three days of strain, Chinese medicine is used externally**, preferably [health bone vitality].

Swelling and bruising occur at the site of a ligament strain, which is caused by an external force that causes the joint to move beyond the normal physiological range, resulting in a strain, partial or complete rupture of the ligament around the joint, which is called a joint ligament sprain. After a sprained ligament, local swelling, pain, tenderness, and bruising may be seen with subcutaneous hemorrhage. Common symptoms of ligament injury are local swelling, pain, ecchymosis, and limited limb movement.

It is very important to properly manage joint ligament sprains at an early stage. Because ligament tissue is not easily regenerated and recovered, if it is not treated properly or misdiagnosed, it may become a chronic disease, leaving functional impairment and prone to recurrence of sprains in the future.

The most common symptoms of soft tissue injuries are pain and impaired mobility. Ligaments belong to soft tissues, and it can also have these symptoms.

The symptoms are pain and impaired mobility, and it is important to avoid weight bearing in the near future. You can only use a hot compress 24 hours after the injury, and you can usually use some rejuvenating oil.

Ligaments are injured and calcium needs to be replaced. Protein. B vitamins and other nutrients.

And avoid strenuous exercise. It hurts on rainy days because of moisture. If necessary, Huashi Bone Square can be used externally to ensure the effect.

Take care to keep the affected area dry. Warm.

**Pay attention to your eating habits, don't overwork yourself when you rest, just pay attention to it.

Eat less hair and drink more water.

The knee ligament mainly includes the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament and the lateral collateral ligament, including the medial collateral ligament and lateral collateral ligament. Knee ligament injury can be gradually repaired through a comprehensive method, so as to restore the function of the knee joint, as follows:

1. General**: It is necessary to pay attention to rest and immobilization, which can make the minor damage gradually heal. After the injury, it is necessary to avoid weight bearing and load again, which can reduce the re-tearing of knee joint fibers;

2. Surgery**: For larger injuries, such as ligament rupture, etc., it is necessary to confirm the diagnosis through magnetic resonance examination, and if necessary, suture and reconstruction through surgery to achieve the original extent, which can better protect the knee joint and avoid traumatic arthritis;

3. Physical and drug**: If it is a relatively minor injury, non-surgical ** is a better **method. Pay attention to local hot compresses and physiotherapy to promote blood circulation, which can gradually subside inflammation, thereby reducing the swelling of the knee joint.

Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium, loxoprofen, celecoxib, etoricoxib, etc., can gradually improve knee joint function and reduce pain, and help ligament repair;

4. Functional exercise: patients should do more weight-free training, such as straight leg raise training, air cycling or swimming, etc., which can maintain a certain activity function of the knee joint and avoid muscle atrophy.

Suggestion: Analysis: When the lateral ligament is injured, the tender point is in the lateral epicondyle of the fibular head or humerus, that is, the lateral knee, which is mostly due to the violent blow or heavy pressure on the inner side of the knee, forcing the knee joint to excessively invert, which can widen the lateral knee space and strain, tear or rupture the lateral collateral ligament.

Guidance: The diagnosis is very simple, first of all, there is a history of trauma, local tenderness, when the lateral knee separation test is done in the straight calf (check it on the Internet, it is more professional), there is no obvious inversion activity of the knee joint, but the lateral knee pain is aggravated, and it is a partial tear; When there is abnormal varus activity in the above tests, the ligament is completely ruptured.

Medial collateral ligament injury: caused by valgus violence, that is, the knee is in a straight position, and the knee or the outside of the leg is subjected to strong violent blows or pressures, causing the knee to be excessively abducted, and the medial collateral ligament can be partially or completely ruptured.

Lateral collateral ligament injury: Mainly caused by knee varus violence, that is, the knee or the inside of the leg is violently hit or pressed, causing excessive knee adduction, and the lateral collateral ligament can be partially or completely ruptured. In severe trauma, the collateral ligament, cruciate ligament, and meniscus can be injured simultaneously.

Anterior and posterior cruciate ligament injuries.

Anterior cruciate ligament injury: Both valus injuries in the straight position of the knee and valgus injuries in the flexion position of the knee can rupture the anterior cruciate ligament.

Posterior cruciate ligament injury: Anterior force that moves the upper tibia back can rupture the posterior cruciate ligament, regardless of whether the knee is flexed or extended.

Pay attention to rest, generally 4-6 weeks will be fine.

Massages & Treatments.

Generally, it should not be treated within 24 to 48 hours after the injury to prevent swelling or bleeding from worsening.

Surgical ** method.

If all of the above is effective, surgery may be performed**, and the doctor will repair the ruptured ligament, but surgery is not recommended if the ligament is completely ruptured**.

Traditional Chinese Medicine ** Law.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that premature ligament injury is caused by external force, resulting in musculoskeletal injury, blood stasis, hematoma and pain, qi and blood disharmony, meridian blockage and even organ damage. Promote blood circulation, thereby removing blood stasis from the affected area and repairing damaged joints and soft tissues; At the same time, it can also enhance the vitality of muscle cells, combined with external application of traditional Chinese medicine, Hua's bone prescription to reduce inflammation and relieve pain and promote the recovery of surrounding tissues.

Dietary principles. Dietary contraindications for ligament strain: In general, soft tissue injuries have the phenomenon of qi stagnation and blood stasis, so you can choose to eat foods that have the effect of promoting qi and activating blood, eliminating blood stasis and relieving pain, such as green onions, orange peel, roses, crabs, rape, hawthorn, etc.

But you must pay attention to it, if there is bleeding, it is not suitable to use.

Hello. The ligament will be loose after being strained, the ligament is sprained and strained for the first time, if it is not timely **, it will be easy to cause a second sprain, and the second sprain will not be carried out again, there will be three sprains, more than three sprains are medically called habitual sprains, and habitual sprains are very difficult. However, the pain of ligament injury is very mild, and you can feel pain when walking, and it should also be considered that cartilage and meniscus are also damaged to varying degrees, cartilage and meniscus are damaged, and the affected areas are swollen, painful or uncomfortable, ligaments, cartilage, and meniscus belong to the soft tissue range, and their regeneration ability is weak, and it is difficult to repair themselves, and it is difficult to find under X-ray, which is more difficult to treat than fractures.

It is difficult to recover well by resting alone.

For soft tissue injury, at present, in the whole world in Western medicine, there is still no good way to repair soft tissue injury, generally prescribe some blood circulation and stasis drugs to let the patient go home to recuperate and recover or exercise to recover, and in severe cases, it is persuaded to open surgery to remove sutures, etc., so that the goal of repair cannot be achieved at all, and only Chinese traditional Chinese medicine has hope if you want to completely repair soft tissue damage. It is recommended that you choose traditional Chinese medicine as soon as possible**, professional Chinese medicine for soft tissue injury can prepare good drugs for you, early soft tissue injury within 1 month of timely use of traditional Chinese medicine**generally in about 40 days can be basic**, if the damage exceeds two months, it belongs to the refractory range, **more troublesome, **time is relatively prolonged, it is recommended that you ** the sooner **, the better, the longer the time delay, **it is more troublesome. Soft tissue injury diet should not be eaten:

Rooster, carp, sour bamboo shoots, beef, ginger, etc., Western medicine should be used with caution, especially hormone-containing drugs should not be used. It is not advisable to move the affected joint too much to avoid aggravating the injury.
