How long does it take to recover from a muscle strain, how long does it take to recover from a muscl

If the muscles are subjected to excessive tension, the muscles will be stretched excessively, and the fibrous tissues that make up the muscles will be torn, causing the muscles to shorten and bleed into the muscles, causing them to become swollen. It may even break or be torn completely. The older you get, the more damage you suffer and the slower your recovery.

Muscle strains can be painful, tender and swollen, which can affect their motor function.

Family** measures.

Dressings. Mix turmeric with a little water to make a paste, apply it to the affected area, and wrap it in gauze. This method is effective for bruising and also helps reduce swelling. Paste made from fresh mullein leaves is also beneficial. Or directly apply external Chinese medicine plasters to maintain health. Bone viability.

Get plenty of rest. After the injury, you should rest more, do not exercise too much, and it is best to fully recover your muscles before you start to engage in heavy exercise activities.

Bandaging. When bandaging muscles with bandages or strips of cloth, don't tie them too tightly so that the muscles don't swell and interfere with blood circulation.

Repair**. If a severe muscle strain occurs, or even fibrous tissue is broken, it must be prompted. After a muscle tear, the best way is to repair the broken muscle directly with surgery**.

Avoid lifting heavy weights. If you have a bad heart, you should avoid lifting weights. When lifting weights, you pause to breathe and your chest muscles and abdomen tighten, putting undue pressure on your lungs and heart. Blood circulation to the brain and heart will also be impaired.

Nutrition & Diet**.

Foods to avoid before exercising.

Before exercising, avoid bananas, celery, grapes, peaches, shrimp. Some people have had a severe reaction after exercising because of eating these foods.

Limit coarse foods.

Before exercising, limit the amount of coarse foods that are rich in fiber. Because it takes energy to digest these foods, and they make you feel full and sluggish. Solid foods should be consumed 4 hours before competition or intense exercise, while liquid foods should be consumed 2 hours before exercise.

Hydrate. Before exercising, whether you feel thirsty or not, always stay hydrated. The combination of 1 2 fruit juice (unsweetened) and 1 2 water is best. During exercise, when you breathe intensely, you lose moisture, even in winter.

Be careful with allergies. If food allergies are known, exercise will facilitate the absorption of these allergic foods, making the allergic reaction more severe.

Danger signals. If a muscle in an area becomes hard, painful, and tender to the touch, it may be a strain or tear. If the tear is severe, surgery is required**.

After about 10-15 days, the symptoms are basically gone.

If you strain, you should apply ice immediately

It works well.

The school doctor said, "Take the safflower oil and don't apply cold to the ice after applying it, or don't do anything for 24 hours."

Take a break and don't exercise again.

She said it would take about 2 to 3 weeks**

It will take at least half a month to a month to recover.

During the recovery period of muscle strain, try to minimize strenuous exercise, increase nutritious diet, and reasonable recovery training is advisable.

Muscle strains repair themselves and can self-clear bruising from the strain.

After the muscle is strained, a cold compress should be applied immediately, rinsing the area with cold water or wrapping it with a towel to break the cold compress, and then wrap the injured area with a bandage to prevent swelling.

After 24 to 48 hours, the bandage can be removed and bandaged, and the injured area can be massaged with appropriate hot compresses or lighter techniques.

If a small number of muscle fibers of the thigh muscle are broken, cold compresses, local compression bandaging, and elevation of the affected limb should be given immediately, and most or complete rupture of the muscles should be sent to the hospital for surgical suturing immediately after compression bandaging.

Muscle strains are a common occurrence in everyday life, howeverThe recovery time for muscle strains varies from part to region, say if onlyMuscle strain in the handGenerally, the recovery time is relatively short, onlyIt takes 2-3 weeksThe time of the slow recovery of the elderly3 to 4 weeks can also be improved, or even return to a normal state, but if it isStrain of large muscle groupsIt will take longer to recover, under normal circumstancesIt takes about 6 weeks to get back to a normal stateHowever, if you use a professional instrument, you may shorten the time to a certain extent.

Recovery time for muscle strains alsoFurther judgment should be made based on the severity of the strainIf yesIf the strain is severe, it will take at least 4 weeks。If the strain is accompanied by fibrous tears or other bleeding, it will take more than 4 weeks or even 6 weeks for the initial recovery.

In addition to that,Different people have different judgments on the degree of muscle stretching and recoveryFor ordinary people, the criterion for judging whether a muscle strain has recovered is to see whether the patient can return to a normal state of life, but for professional athletes, it is necessary to see whether the athlete can return to the previous sports. Therefore, the recovery time is different.

Cold compresses

In the initial stage of muscle strain, if you can use a cold towel or ice cube in time to apply a cold compress, it can prevent the swelling of the damaged part of the muscle to a certain extent and reduce some pain.

Warm compresses

Muscle strains can also be relieved by applying hot compresses, but they must be distinguished from cold compresses, which are used in the early stages of muscle strain. The hot compress rule needs to be applied after 3 to 4 days of muscle strain. In order to promote the healing of the injured part as soon as possible and return to a normal state, you can choose to apply a hot compress at this time to promote blood circulation and effectively prevent muscle tightness.

It takes a month for a muscle strain to recover. Muscle strains can be relieved by applying ice, compression bandaging, external analgesic creams, elevation of the affected area, and surgery**.

The recovery time for a muscle strain depends on the severity of the strain, generally mild strains can recover in about one to two weeks, and if there is a moderate strain or significant contusion, it will recover in about three to six weeks. Cold compresses help blood vessels constrict at the site of muscle strain, reduce interstitial fluid exudation, help eliminate edema, and relieve pain.

Muscle strains take about three months to recover. To relieve muscle strain, you need to lie down and rest, you can't exercise, and you need to fix the place where your muscle strain is made, make a plasterboard or take oral medication.
