What to do if your calf muscle is torn

1. Treatment of calf muscle strain 1. Avoid adverse activities: Activities that cause pain must be abandoned. 2. Keep cool: Ice is the best treatment for the first few days of pain. Rub ice cubes into the painful area for 15 minutes, twice a day. 3. Massage: Increase blood flow to the painful area. It is best to ask a physical therapist or massage therapist to help you massage. 4. Use support: Using special corrective shoes can help.

2. Thigh muscle strain 1. The most convenient way to apply ice is to take a plastic bag, put ice cubes in it and apply cold compress for about 20 minutes. There may be some local tingling during the cold compress. At this time, the injured person can take the plastic bag away for a while and then put it back. Repeat this process. In severe cases, repeat the process every 3 hours or so. This can be done multiple times a day. 2. After applying pressure and ice, use a bandage to wrap the injured area with appropriate force to prevent swelling. At this time, it is best to bandage and fix the muscles in a stretched state to prevent affecting muscle contraction. This is the most critical step to prevent repeated injury to the injured muscles. For more serious cases, the injured limb should be elevated and some pain-relieving and hemostatic drugs can be taken. The bandage is removed after 24 to 48 hours. Depending on the severity of the injury, you can apply Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling, or you can use physical therapy, acupuncture, or massage the injured area with lighter techniques.
