What to do if my arm is sprained

The arm has limited bearing capacity, and in daily life many people sprain their arm tendons for various reasons. This situation is not only prone to occur in the arms, but also in the tendons of the hands and feet, which are easily sprained. Pain is secondary. The key is that normal functions are restricted. Don't be nervous if you strain your arm. As long as you take the correct approach, your function will recover quickly. So, what should you do if you strain your arm?

The ligament will relax after being stretched. If the ligament is sprained for the first time and is not treated promptly, it will easily cause a secondary sprain. If the secondary sprain is not treated, a third sprain will occur. Sprains more than three times are medically called habitual sprains, and habitual sprains are difficult to cure. Ligaments and cartilage are soft tissues, which have weak regenerative abilities and are difficult to repair themselves. They are more difficult to treat than fractures. Simply resting to recover or applying some safflower oil, Yunnan Baiyao, or anti-edema and analgesic essence will not be very effective in repairing soft tissue injuries.

As for the treatment of soft tissue injuries, there is still no good method for repairing soft tissue injuries in Western medicine throughout the world. Generally, patients are asked to go home to rest and recover or exercise to recover. This cannot achieve the purpose of repair at all. If we want to completely repair soft tissue injuries, only Chinese traditional medicine has hope.

It is best to seek treatment from traditional Chinese medicine, such as Health Preservation and Bone Vitality, which is good. If you wait more than a year before seeking treatment from traditional Chinese medicine, the cure rate is only about 60%. It is recommended that you seek treatment as early as possible. The longer you delay, the more troublesome the treatment will be. People with soft tissue injuries should avoid the following foods: rooster, carp, pickled bamboo shoots, beef, ginger, etc. Western medicines should be used with caution, especially those containing hormones. Do not move the affected joints too much to avoid aggravating the injury.

What to do if you sprain your tendon

Spraining a tendon is a situation that many people will face, and often when a tendon is sprained, it will cause the hand to be unable to exert force or move. So what should we do in this situation? Let’s take a look at it together.

Spraining the tendons in your hand is very painful, because you have to use your hands in life and work, and they are used very frequently. If you happen to sprain your right hand, it will be very painful and will cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, first move your wrist to see if it is sprained. After confirming that it is sprained, do not force your wrist to move, as this will only aggravate the degree of the sprain. Try to keep your wrist relaxed and do not use the sprained wrist to do things. First, you can apply hot compress and massage to relieve the pain caused by the sprain. Then you can add safflower oil or Yunnan Baiyao spray for emergency treatment. What should you do if you sprain your tendons? Be sure to go to the hospital for a check-up. Do not mistake a fracture for a sprain, or a serious sprain for a minor sprain, which will delay the best time for treatment, or a minor illness will become a major illness, and eventually leave a root of illness or disability.

There are many medicines that can treat mild sprains, such as safflower oil, which can be used to relieve pain and swelling. Yunnan Baiyao can be used to remove blood stasis and promote blood circulation, relieve pain and swelling. Of course, there are also Voltaren ointment and Voltaren anti-inflammatory and analgesic tablets, etc. Chinese medicine includes Panax notoginseng tablets, which can be used in combination with acupuncture and massage to effectively relieve the symptoms of sprained tendons.

Therefore, when we encounter a sprained tendon in our lives, we must take it seriously and choose the correct method for treatment so that we can recover as soon as possible.
