Calf muscle strain recovery time

Muscle strain is quite common in life. Improper force or excessive fatigue may cause muscle strain. When the calf muscle is strained, it is important to pay attention to treatment and apply cold compresses in time. If the strain is more serious, surgical sutures are required. How long it takes to recover from a calf muscle strain depends on the specific condition of the strain and the patient's physical constitution.

1. Cold compress: When the calf is strained, it needs to be treated immediately. Many patients will experience severe pain in the local tissue. You can use cold water to act on the local tissue of the human body, or you can use some faster compresses directly on the affected area. This can effectively relieve local pain. The treatment method is also quite simple. If the patient is more serious, he still needs to go to the hospital for some corresponding treatment.

2. After surgical suture of calf muscle strain, you need to go to the hospital for some examinations. If the patient's tendon has been broken, you must not rub the inadequate part of the body with your hands at will at this time, otherwise you will find that the local pain symptoms are getting worse and worse. You should hurry to the hospital for surgical suture. Surgical treatment can promote recovery, so don't delay the best time for treatment.

3. External plaster: After the calf muscles are strained, the patient needs to be given an external plaster. It is recommended to choose some Chinese herbal plasters, such as Wuzhi Plaster. Wuzhi Plaster has a certain effect of promoting blood circulation, relieving pain and removing blood stasis, and can effectively relieve the patient's pain symptoms. Because the viscosity of the plaster is very high, but the speed of action is relatively slow, the effect is relatively long-lasting, and generally it can achieve better results for patients with mild symptoms.

4. Oral analgesics: Many patients will experience severe pain after muscle strain, and there are some cord-like lumps in local tissues of the human body. Patients can be given analgesics and hemostatic drugs. You can give patients some Yunnan Baiyao for external application to temporarily control the condition. You can also give patients topical diclofenac sodium gel, directly applying it to local human tissues, which can effectively relieve pain.

The above article introduces in detail how to recover from calf muscle strain. I believe everyone has a certain understanding that muscle strain is caused by exercise or failure to do some warm-up exercises before exercise. We need to arrange the amount of exercise reasonably so as to achieve the purpose of prevention. In addition, we should also pay attention to rest during the exercise and not let the local tissues bear excessive pressure.
