What to do if you have a strained shoulder? What are some quick recovery methods?

If you are not careful when exercising or working, it is easy to cause shoulder strain, which will cause pain. You can feel the appearance of cord-like lumps in the muscles by touching them with your hands, and the pain will be aggravated, making it impossible for patients to carry out normal activities. Therefore, patients must actively seek treatment to avoid making the muscle strain more serious. So what should I do if I strain my shoulder? What are the ways to recover quickly?

First, what should you do if you strain your shoulder? What are some quick ways to recover? Shoulder muscle strain is a type of muscle strain, which is an injury caused by rapid contraction or excessive stretching of the muscles during exercise. A muscle strain is an injury caused by a sudden contraction or overstretching of a muscle during exercise. This is common during stretches, pull-ups, and sit-ups. After a muscle strain, there is severe pain in the strained area, and you can feel a cord-like lump formed by the muscle tension with your hand. It is obviously painful to touch, and there is local swelling or subcutaneous bleeding, and movement is obviously restricted. Generally, health-preserving and bone-vitalizing external application treatment can be used. A muscle strain is an injury caused by rapid contraction or excessive stretching of the muscle during exercise. After a muscle strain, the strained area will be extremely painful. After a muscle strain, cold treatment should be performed immediately - rinse the area with cold water or apply ice cubes wrapped in a towel for cold compress, and then wrap the injured area with a bandage with appropriate force to prevent swelling. While relaxing the muscles of the injured area and raising the injured limb, you can take some analgesic and hemostatic drugs. The bandage is removed after 24 to 48 hours. Depending on the severity of the injury, you can apply blood circulation and swelling-reducing plasters, apply appropriate hot compresses or massage the injured area with lighter techniques.

Second, you can relieve the pain by following the following points. 1. When soft tissue is injured, apply cold water, ice or ice pack to the affected area. Cold compresses can relieve pain and freeze the sensory nervous system, thus playing an anti-irritation role. The cold stimulation exceeds the pain of the trauma, so the pain will be relieved. 2. Bandage the injured area with an elastic bandage. The bandage must be applied evenly, otherwise a "pocket" of swelling will form around the edge of the compression bandage. 3. Make good use of gravity. 4. Rest and moderate exercise. When an injury occurs, you should rest immediately, but the rest time should not be too long. Prolonged rest is harmful to sports injuries.
