What to do if your girlfriend has a strained ligament in her hand

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 weight on the injured joint.

2 Cold compresses. 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 Oppression. 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. In the exercise of ligament strain, the ligament around the joint is strained, partially ruptured or completely ruptured due to external force that causes the joint to move beyond the normal physiological range, which is called joint ligament sprain.

The most common areas for joint ligament sprains are in the knees, fingers and ankles. After a sprained ligament, local swelling, pain, tenderness, and bruising may be seen with subcutaneous hemorrhage.

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. Activity should be stopped immediately after an acute injury to reduce bleeding.

Immediately flush the injured area with cold water or apply ice cubes to the area to stop bleeding. Then cover with a bandage and compress the bandage to prevent swelling. If the ligament is completely ruptured or a concurrent fracture is suspected, a doctor must be consulted for further examination and ** After 24 to 48 hours, the internal bleeding at the injured site has stopped, at this time, a warm towel can be used to compress or massage to reduce swelling and promote blood absorption When applying a warm compress, the temperature should not be too high, the time should not be too long, and the massage should not be too heavy, so as not to aggravate exudation, edema or rebleeding.

In order to promote the recovery of joint function, attention should be paid to the combination of movement and static, and early activity should be carried out without pain. After the basic recovery, the strength exercises of the muscles around the joints should be strengthened to improve the relative stability of the joints.

This injury is so difficult to recover Even if it is finished, it will take a long, long time Really, it is different from muscle strain, once the ligament is injured, it is easy to be injured again Just like I play ball Which foot is twisted It is easy to twist again in the future Do a little more physical recovery Don't take too heavy things at once Take your time and take some hot water and hot towels when you have time at night

Wrist injuries, often with a significant history of trauma. After the injury, the wrist is weak and the wrist joint is immobile. 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. During examination, the wrist joint is firmly palmed flexed and dorsal pain occurs, indicating injury to the dorsal wrist ligament and wrist extensor tendon; Conversely, it is a volar carpal ligament or wrist flexor tendon injury. If the wrist joint is deflected forcefully to the ulnar side, pain occurs in the styloid process of the radius, which is a radial collateral ligament injury; Conversely, it is an ulnar collateral ligament injury.

If there is pain in all directions of the wrist and there is a significant restriction of movement, it means that the ligaments, tendons, etc. are a compound injury. Tenderness or palpation of musculosis at the site of the injury. Wrist injuries should be timely to prevent avascular necrosis of the carpal scaphoid and carpal lunate.

**: External application of Bone Powder is the best choice. Oral Relaxation and Blood Activating Soup: Relaxing the muscles and channels, promoting qi and invigorating blood.

Do more, rub more, and then wipe with safflower oil.

If it's just a strain.

Take some notoginseng pills.

Get more rest and exercise less.

Resolutely do not exercise excessively.

Generally, three to five weeks of rest is fine.

Don't let your mother work until she recovers.

Especially heavy lifting.

Otherwise, the consequences ......

Wrist ligament strain, is the need for immobilization, swelling and pain relief, etc., while checking to rule out avulsion fracture and damage to the wrist triangular cartilage disc.

Acute ligament strain, first need to be immobilized, that is, to reduce the activity of the wrist joint, you can use a wrist brace, or cardboard, or a small splint across the wrist joint protection, for the degree is not serious, in addition to the swelling of the local wrist joint, there is no obvious deformity, generally speaking, the damage of the fracture and cartilage disc is relatively small, there are more obvious deformities, and the movement of the wrist joint is obviously limited.

At the same time, for acute injury, that is, 1-2 days after the strain, at this time, bleeding and oozing are the mainstay, you can use local cold compress to stop bleeding, you can also spray Yunnan Baiyao aerosol**, oral wound department Qiwei tablets, or Sanpainshu capsules and other pain relief**, after the acute phase, that is, after 2 days, you can apply a warm compress locally, which can be combined with magnesium sulfate moist heat compress to reduce swelling, and you can also use herbal powders such as stretching tendon grass, safflower, Wujiapi, and continuation. You can take something like Muscle Relief Capsules to promote recovery. Generally speaking, the immobilization can be removed after about 2 weeks, and the gradual functional exercise of the wrist joint can begin, but it is still necessary to avoid the weight bearing and force of the wrist joint.

Generally, muscle strains will heal quickly, if they do not heal for a long time, it is necessary to rule out whether there is damage to the joint, please go to the hospital for orthopedic examination and diagnosis.

Actively apply safflower oil or voltarin, apply bone-setting pills orally, and when the pain is oral, Fenbide should be taken orally**, and try to reduce activity during the period, and cooperate with massage therapy.

Take this medicine for a while!

I've only had a strained medial thigh ligament, knee ligament, and ankle ligament.

The knee is seen by a doctor, and it is only recommended not to exercise vigorously, and it is best to stay in bed.
