How do you recover from a strained ligament after a fall?

Ligament injury is characterized by ligament edema, blood stasis, and interruption of continuity. Therefore, in order to quickly recover the injured ligament, it is first necessary to create conditions for ligament recovery, that is, to avoid excessive activity at the injured site, which will strain the ligament, resulting in slow ligament recovery. If it is a ligament injury, there will be severe pain and swelling, and at the same time, the pressure will also hurt.

After the acute phase, joint stability may be reduced, and there may be a feeling of instability or relaxation (e.g., a sprained foot is a ligament strain) because ligaments do not belong to contractile and elastic tissues such as muscles. Once it is tawed or lengthened, it will not be able to return to its original length.

First, when a high-speed car is involved in a traffic accident, when the body is still rushing forward due to inertia, the lower leg is blocked by the driver's seat in front, resulting in posterior cruciate ligament strain or even injury. Second, being bumped or fallen by an external force during sports is also easy to cause ACL injury. Anterior cruciate ligament injury is one of the most common injuries in osteoarticular surgery and sports medicine.

It is also one of the most common sports injuries in our knees. Its incidence is second only to meniscus injury.

Many knee sprains in sports injuries are mostly medial collateral ligament injuries. Once a ligament is torn, many people's first instinct is surgery. In fact, for simple MCL injuries and tears, they can resume movement with conservative **.

If the ligament is strained, in addition to timely rest, attention should also be paid to timely ice, especially for some patients with swelling and pain. At this point, ice is effective in relieving swelling and pain, and I don't know how to talk about ligament damage. The long recovery period is more exciting than riding a roller coaster.

I'm sure all patients with ligament injuries have experienced it. Cold water or ice should be used for the first time to relieve pain and swelling. I've seen some people online saying that bandages prevent swelling.

You can also go to the hospital for a check-up in time. If you don't need money, do an MRI to see if the bones hurt. Generally, ligament strains do not require surgery. Take a break.

You can go to the hospital to dispense some relevant medicines, and at the same time, you should pay attention to the usual massage, and pay attention to the strain, and you should also use medicine to recover.

You need to massage your legs frequently, and you also need to use medication often**, and the ligaments can recover after a month.

After the ligament is strained, it should be maintained in time, and a little cast should be applied if necessary, so that it may get better faster.

Many patients come to the clinic because of ligament injuries, what should I do about ligament injuries? First of all, it is necessary to determine which parts of the ligament injury occurred, and the severity of the ligament injury, or what was taken for this injury, and how the patient responded. For example, if there are some very minor ligament injuries, such as ankle sprains, no ligament tears, or no bone fractures, this situation will generally recommend immobilization, avoid any actions that will aggravate the pain, and cooperate with some physical **, as well as drugs**, to relieve the symptoms of pain and swelling caused by this injury, which are some symptomatic**.

If the ligament injury is more serious, such as in the shoulder joint or knee joint, the shoulder joint has rotator cuff injury, and the knee joint has meniscus and ligament tears, in this case, simple conservative medication** may not achieve a good ** effect, and finally it is necessary to use surgery ** to reconstruct the damaged ligament, which is the last **.

In general, what should I do if I have a ligament injury or strain? It is necessary to objectively analyze the degree of injury after combining the patient's medical history and necessary physical examination and imaging examinations, and choose a suitable plan.
