Why do you have a muscle strain, and how do you recover from it?

A muscle strain is an injury caused by a muscle that contracts sharply or overstretches during exercise. This tends to happen when doing pull-ups and sit-ups 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. There are also many reasons for receiving muscle strain injuries, such as:

1.Insufficient preparation for activities, and the physiology of the muscles has not yet reached the state required for strenuous activity.

2.Weak physique, low level of training, poor muscle stretch and strength, fatigue or overload.

3.Low movement technique, incorrect posture, excessive exertion, exceeding the range of muscle activity.

4.The temperature is too low, the humidity is too high, the site is too hard, etc.

5.Muscle strains can occur at the junction between the abdomen and the abdomen, or at the point where the tendon attaches to the bone. A strain can be a subtle injury, a partial tear of the muscle fibers, or even a complete rupture.

Most of the parts of muscle strain are: posterior thigh muscles, lumbar back muscles, triceps calf muscles, rectus abdominis muscles, trapezius muscles, etc.

As the subject said, it should be due to insufficient preparation activities, no correct warm-up activities, and at the same time, after the strain, there is no system for the affected area**, resulting in the course of the disease for a long time, the pain and discomfort symptoms caused by poor wound healing at the part of the calf muscle strain.

All that needs to be done now is to seek medical attention promptly**. Many people who have had sports experience have encountered muscle strains, but there are not many people who can handle muscle strains correctly, and the correct treatment of muscle strains should be decided according to the specific situation of their own muscle strain.

Here comes the point:1Rest can avoid more serious injuries.

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

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

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

And in the later stage of the disease like the subject, a warm compress is required. 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. At the same time, the assistance of Chinese medicine in the later stage** is also very important, such as moxibustion, acupuncture, Chinese medicine patches**, etc., which can achieve a pain-relieving effect for the symptoms.

In fact, muscle strain is a kind of injury that is often encountered in daily work and life. Generally, muscle strain is mainly due to excessive exercise, or excessive exercise load, which exceeds the normal bearing capacity of muscles, resulting in damage to muscle fibers and fascia, aseptic inflammation, and symptoms of muscle strain. Typical symptoms of muscle strain are muscle soreness after exercise or strenuous exercise, or even muscle hematoma, among other things.

If there is a corresponding muscle strain, it is necessary to pay attention to it at ordinary times, reduce a certain amount of exercise or change to a small amount of exercise, which is conducive to muscle recovery. If the muscle strain is significantly painful, exercise should be stopped, local warm compresses, physiotherapy, or oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs should be given.

This is because you don't do a good stretching exercise before exercising, so you will have a muscle strain. When we encounter this situation, we can use rest, massage, acupuncture, bruising drugs and training to recover.

It may be due to the fact that the amplitude of movement is too large in the process of exercise, which will lead to major injuries. A cast can be applied, a massage can be performed, and a re-examination can be performed.

Muscle strain is more common in muscle tears caused by exercise, especially muscle fascial tears, which can lead to severe pain, inability to move, local swelling, tenderness, and limited movement. The most important way to recover quickly is to relax the muscles and not let them strain, so if there is a muscle strain in the calf or thigh, you must not step on the ground, and it is best to use crutches if you can crutches. Because tension will cause the tear site to shrink further, which will affect the alignment of muscle fibers and affect the recovery.

The quick recovery method is first of all to rest, brake, relax, and not exert force at all; You can also use an elastic bandage for external use, like an athlete to protect the calf, a tighter one like an elastic stocking, and an elastic legging, which is conducive to the extension of the muscles after being tied, and the broken end can be closer and easier to recover.

The other methods are conventional methods, such as topical anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving plasters, plasters, plasters, and anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicines. The key is to try to avoid any movements that cause muscle pain and allow the muscles to relax completely, so that the recovery is faster. If you can't avoid it, you have to do it, if you keep making it painful, it just heals a little, and the muscles pull and pull the broken place away, so it is not conducive to healing.

A person's muscles are like a rubber band that can be stretched or contracted, resulting in movement. The same is true for human muscles, if the rubber band exerts too much tension, the muscle or the rubber band is torn apart, and it is difficult to retract back to the original state, which is called muscle strain. Generally, after a muscle strain, try to minimize exercise rest to let this muscle be in a relaxed state and let it heal slowly.

How do you make it heal fast? First of all, avoid stretching this muscle, stretch or contract again, and then pay attention to rest, you can give a local hot compress. Sometimes there will be swelling and pain after muscle strain, you can use some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, swelling drugs, and then warm compresses, it is best to use a warm water bag to heat the compress or take a hot bath, the recovery is relatively fast.

Generally, muscle strains recover quickly, and it will take about a week.

Muscle strain is an injury caused by sharp contraction or excessive stretching of muscles during exercise. The most common areas of strain are quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors, triceps calf, and so on. It is especially likely to occur when running, kicking, and jumping.

Some friends may often encounter muscle strains and muscle soreness during exercise, and they do not get better for several days; Some friends think that strains are trivial. They ignore this and let it develop, creating a vicious circle. To deal with the strain, it is necessary to have a target, and it cannot be generalized.

To know how to repair a muscle strain, the first thing we should do is to know why the muscle strain occurs: (1) Insufficient preparation activities. The physiological functions of the muscles have not yet reached the state required for strenuous activity.

2) Weak physique, low level of training, poor muscle elasticity, stretching, strength, fatigue or overload. (3) Low motor skills, incorrect posture, uncoordinated movements, excessive exertion, exceeding the range of muscle motion. The temperature is too low, the humidity is too high, and the site is too hard.

Therefore, this should be avoided when exercising for fitness. So to prevent muscle strains, we should avoid the above four situations.

But if you have already strained your muscles, how to deal with them correctly and effectively?

One. Protection. When the muscles are strained, stop the activity immediately to protect the injured part and avoid secondary injury. And ask for help moving yourself to a safe place.

Two. Rest. After a muscle strain, you should make sure to get enough rest so that the muscles can recover well. During the rest period, you must avoid strenuous exercise to prevent the condition from worsening. Pressure must be applied in a timely manner.

Three. Apply ice. Ice can reduce pain and cramping, reduce enzyme activity factors, and reduce the production of gangrene in the body.

It can also constrict blood vessels, reduce blood circulation in the injured area, and achieve the effect of reducing swelling. When applying ice, do not place ice cubes directly on the surface. The best way to apply ice is to remove the ice pack every 15 minutes and let it warm enough before applying the next ice pack.

Four. Bandaging. The main function of the bandage remains to control swelling and bleeding so that the wound does not enlarge. After applying ice, cover the damaged area with an elastic bandage to prevent swelling. At this time, it is best to wrap the muscles in a stretched state to prevent the muscles from contracting.

Five. Elevate the affected limb. Elevation of the affected limb is the use of gravity to raise the affected limb above the heart, promote venous return, and then reduce swelling and relieve pain.

For leg muscle strain, the injured area should be as high as possible above the buttocks. The patient's injured site should be raised and taken to the hospital within 48 hours of injury!

Muscle strains are usually caused by excessive muscle contraction and are managed as follows:

1. Cold compress: If there is a muscle strain, you need to use an ice pack as soon as possible, you can use an ice pack for pharmacies, you can also take a plastic bag to fill water and put it in the refrigerator, and you can also take an ice mineral water bottle for cold compress. Generally, within 3-7 days of the acute phase, apply ice about 10 times a day, each time for about 15 minutes;

2. Rest: For example, when the thigh muscles are strained, if the thigh is painful during activity, it means that the muscles are injured again. Therefore, the muscles should not be stressed again.

Depending on the severity of the muscle strain, you can rest for 3-5 days or about 1 week for the mild case, and you may need to rest for about 1 month for the severe case, do not do any more exercise, and do not cause the pain of the strain site to occur again in your daily life. Through the above measures, most patients can get a relatively satisfactory recovery.

I think you can get a proper massage, you can beat the muscles slowly, you can stretch properly, you should pay attention to rest, you can apply cold compresses, you can maintain a good mood, and you can eat a reasonable diet.

In such a situation, the muscles should be massaged and some recovery actions should be done to be able to repair properly.

Muscle strain** depends on the specific situation.

For patients with a small number of muscle fiber ruptures, cold compresses, local compression bandaging, elevation of the affected limb, and external application of Chinese herbal medicine should be given. If the muscle is largely or completely broken, it will be sent to the hospital for surgical suturing immediately after compression bandaging.

When exercising, you should do what you can to prevent excessive fatigue and too heavy load;

It is necessary to improve the coordination of movement techniques and movements, and do not use too much force; Improve training conditions and pay attention to the temperature of the sports venue. In winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm when exercising in the field, and do not wear too thin; Pay attention to the response of the muscles, such as the hardness, toughness, elasticity, and fatigue of the muscles; When re-participating in training after a muscle strain, it is necessary to take it step by step, do not rush it, and strengthen local protection to prevent re-strain.

1. Apply ice.

The most convenient way is to take a plastic bag and put ice cubes in it for about 20 minutes, there may be some stinging in the area during the cold compress. At this point, the injured person can take the plastic bag out of the way for a while and then put it back on. This is done repeatedly, and in severe cases, it is repeated again at an interval of about 3 hours, and can be repeated multiple times a day.

2. Pressurized bandaging.

After applying ice, apply a bandage to cover the injured area with appropriate force to prevent swelling. At this time, it is best to bandage and fix the muscles in a stretched state to prevent muscle contraction, which is the most critical step to prevent repeated injuries to the injured muscles.

In more severe cases, the injured limb should be elevated, and 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 externally used to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling of traditional Chinese medicine. Bone viability, which can be applied to the injured area with physiotherapy, acupuncture, or a lighter hand.

Generally, the recovery of muscle strain is relatively slow, and the symptoms can be relieved by hot compress after 3 days of local treatment, and plasters can be applied.
