What to do if you have a strained hand muscle What to do if you have a strained arm muscle

The first step is to determine the extent of the injury.

Here's what you'll find helpful:

Symptoms: localized pain, tenderness; swelling, muscle tension, stiffness, cramping; Dysfunction. Pain worsens when the injured muscle actively contracts or passively lengthens; Positive resistance test for muscle contraction, i.e., increased pain or the presence of a broken depression.

Some casualties have a tear-like sensation, obvious swelling and severe subcutaneous bruising, and those who feel a depression or see an abnormal bulge at one end may be a muscle rupture.

Solution: Stop exercising immediately and leave the affected area still. Immobilization after the end of exercise can control swelling and inflammation and minimize bleeding.

Then use a cast, crutches, or brace to immobilize the treated area. Fixing for two or three days after injury can not only prevent the occurrence of complications, but also help to a certain extent. If the affected area is moved too early, not only will symptoms such as bleeding occur, but it may also further aggravate the functional damage, and the recovery time will be longer.

Cold compresses are most effective in emergency response. Because cold compresses can not only reduce pain and spasms, reduce the active factors of enzymes, but also reduce the production of gangrene in the body's tissues, the swelling generated within 4-6 hours after injury will also be controlled to a certain extent. Cold compresses also increase the viscosity of the blood, making the capillaries less permeable, and reducing the blood flow that restricts blood flow to the affected area.

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.

Good luck with you**.

Are you sure. Is the muscle strained,?

Has there been any confirmation from the district hospital or other places?

It's possible that you don't have a muscle strain.

Did you do any exercise that requires your hands the day before you get up, or any other action that involves load?

If there is, then it may just be a swelling pain, soak it in hot water, pinch it, apply it with a hot towel, and it will be fine after a while.

But if it's really a muscle strain, then go to the hospital, after all, a muscle strain is not a general small problem, you can also go to the pharmacy and ask what medicine to use. Anyone in the pharmacy will know about it

Hope you can give me advice! I wish you good health!

Palm pain, muscle strain, less likely.

Because first, there are fewer muscles in the hand, and there are relatively more tendons, so the possibility of tendon injury is greater when the palm hurts; The second is that muscle strain requires relatively large sudden force, and there are few hand muscles, so it is not easy to do sudden movements, so it is unlikely to strain muscles.

Pain in the palm of the hand can also be a bone injury to the hand.

It depends on the extent of your muscle strain.

For patients with mild muscle strain and muscle spasms, acupuncture** will achieve significant results, different acupuncture strength and acupuncture frequency enable injured or spasmodic muscles to relax and contract in a moderate range according to different rhythms and intensities, thus helping to restore muscle elasticity;

For patients with partial rupture of muscle fibers, use cold compresses and pressure bandages in the early stage, and put the affected limb in a position to relax the injured muscles to relieve pain, and start massage after 48 hours, and the technique should be gentle;

If a complete rupture of muscles and tendons is suspected, the affected limb should be compressed and bandaged locally, the affected limb should be immobilized, and immediately sent to the hospital for diagnosis, and surgery should be performed if necessary.
