There are lumps on the arms

Everyone's physical health is different, and the arms are a very important part of the human body. Because people often use their arms when doing sports or other things in their lives, if there is a disease in the arm, it should be treated in time. For example, cramps are a common problem in the arms, and the cause should be identified and treated. So what should you do if you have a lump on your arm?

What to do if there is a muscle bag on the shoulder

If the patient develops a muscle bag on the arm, it is important to first find out what kind of muscle bag it is. In this case, you can go to the orthopedics department of the local hospital for a color ultrasound examination to see whether the muscle bag on the arm is a sebaceous cyst, a cyst, a lipoma, or swelling and hematoma caused by trauma.

If the muscle bag on the patient's shoulder is a lipoma, if there is no obvious pain and it does not grow larger in the short term, this situation does not need to be treated for the time being. If pain occurs and it grows rapidly, it must be surgically removed in a timely manner.

If it is a sebaceous cyst or a cyst and there is pain, surgical removal is also recommended.

If the subcutaneous hematoma is caused by trauma, you must pay more attention to keeping warm and avoid catching cold, avoid putting weight on the arm, apply hot compresses to the arm tendon area, and use blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. It usually disappears in about two weeks. If the muscle mass does not significantly reduce in about two weeks, you can consider puncture and fluid extraction or surgical incision to release the accumulated fluid.

What to do if a muscle bag appears on the wrist

The most common type of wrist banding is tenosynovitis, which occurs on the dorsal side of the wrist, usually in the radial wrist extensor longus and brevis. Early treatment is to rest, limit activity, and relieve symptoms. If relieving the symptoms is not enough and the symptoms cannot be significantly improved, you can apply some anti-inflammatory and analgesic plasters externally. If there is still no effect, the first thing to do is to go to the hospital and see a specialist. Some doctors can squeeze it out, but there is a possibility of recurrence after squeezing it out; another option is puncture to draw out the accumulated fluid. If these non-surgical treatments are not effective, the patient feels that the impact is serious, or even the tendons cannot be wrapped for a long time, or some patients have undergone injections or blockades and are at risk of infection, surgical treatment is required. The surgery is to remove the tendon wrap, which is actually to cut open the tendon sheath. After the incision, a part of it will be removed, so that it can be completely eradicated. In general, the first thing to do when you have a muscle bag is to change your lifestyle habits. If necessary, it is best to go to the hospital for further examination and decide on the treatment method under the guidance of a doctor.
