What to do if the inner thigh muscle is strained

Nowadays, more and more people are under great pressure at work, so they pay more attention to health preservation and hope to have a healthy body. Many people achieve weight loss effects by strengthening exercise, while improving their body resistance. Sometimes they get strained during exercise. So what should you do if you strain the inner thigh muscles? How should we deal with it and get effective relief and treatment? Next, let’s take a closer look at each one.

Hello, tendons (commonly known as "tendons") connect bones and muscles, so the relationship between tendons and bones is complementary and closely related. Muscles are to protect bones and tendons. Relatively speaking, tendon and bone injuries are more difficult to heal, requiring a lot of time to rest, and difficult to heal (to 100%). Muscle injuries should be easier to heal.

Guidance:

Muscle tendon injury type. This type of patient will feel a little discomfort when walking, but when doing fast movements, such as running, they will immediately feel severe stabbing pain. The pain is usually in the inner thigh near the groin, and even the inner knee will hurt. The affected area is slightly swollen, and there will be pain when pressing, and whether stretching or giving resistance, the patient will feel pain.

Clinically, muscle strain in the thigh area is the most likely cause of groin pain, including: sartorius, rectus femoris, gracilis, adductor, iliopsoas, etc. These parts usually heal slowly, so you must rest for 1 to 2 weeks. The traditional treatment is to give non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for 7 to 10 days, and use ice compresses at the beginning, and then switch to hot compresses after 48 hours. During this period, a support belt is used to fix the waist and hip joints, and the pain will gradually subside.

Drug recommendations: Voltaren, a western medicine produced by Beijing Ruihua. This is a good medicine for treating non-exterior injuries. As for safflower oil, it can be used, but it is not professional. Those bone-setting water and sprays are painkillers.

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. After a muscle strain, you should immediately apply cold treatment - rinse the area with cold water or apply ice cubes wrapped in a towel, 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. If the muscle strain is severe, such as if the muscle belly or tendon is broken, you should rush to the hospital for surgery to suture it. Preventing muscle strains Many people suffer from muscle strains during bodybuilding. No matter how you put it, muscle strains are the enemy of bodybuilding training, and often force you to give up muscle training in that area for a long time. So we need to prevent muscle strain early. Rest If you feel some abnormal pain in a certain part of your body during bodybuilding training, don't continue. You should relax and rest completely. Understand the injury. Gently rotate the injured part and do some gentle movements to determine which muscles, tendons, and ligaments are painful or injured. This will help you know where to focus your treatment movements and which movements to avoid during intense bodybuilding training. Do not add burden to the injured area. After finding out the injured part, not only should you avoid doing bodybuilding training movements that affect the injured part, but you should also be careful not to add burden to the injured part during daily activities. For example, if you have lower back pain, don't lift heavy objects, and if you have foot pain, avoid running. Use the "active rest method" to bypass the injury. The human body has more than 600 muscles. Therefore, even if you injure 100 muscles, you still have more than 500 muscles to train. All muscles should be exercised to improve your health and achieve balanced development. At the same time, the femur, which is the main weight-bearing part, can be strengthened. For example, injured or taking over tibial muscles hinder the entire squatting movement, but half squatting is still allowed. However, it must be done with caution. If you feel uncomfortable during the activity, you should let the entire injured muscle group rest. To promote local blood circulation, you must carefully measure the injured area and find a bodybuilding training movement that can gently move the injured area. This movement can promote blood circulation to replenish fresh nutrients and remove waste substances. Stretch the injured area gently and slowly until you feel slight resistance, then stop and try to relax the injured area. When doing this, try to stretch further. When the muscles are stretched and relaxed, more therapeutic blood will flow to that area, and they will heal faster. However, if you stretch too much, it will lead to worsening of the trauma or even further injury. Massage Gentle massage can directly increase blood flow. You can rub yourself, but a more effective way to relieve pain is to relax yourself and let someone who knows massage give you a massage. Heat Heat can promote blood flow to the body surface by virtue of the body's natural cooling reaction. Heat can also relieve the tension of injured muscles, thereby speeding up blood circulation and bringing more nutrients to the muscles. The thermal effect of ice compresses is often used for long-term recovery after injuries, and cannot be used as on-the-spot first aid. Heating the injured area immediately after an injury can cause swelling and further tissue damage. Generally, ice compresses can reduce swelling within 48 hours after an injury.
