Vastus medialis pain

Pain in the vastus medialis muscle can be improved by reducing strenuous exercise. If the pain is not improved after reducing strenuous exercise, you can also take medication or treat it through acupuncture under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Reduce exercise: If people who don’t like sports suddenly do strenuous exercise, it may cause pain in the medial thigh muscles. If you don’t reduce exercise, the pain may worsen, and severe cases may affect limb movement. When pain occurs, you must pay attention to rest and don’t do strenuous exercise. At the same time, you can’t do long jump, running, climbing stairs and other activities. You can also use a hot towel to heat the leg muscles to speed up local blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and have a pain-relieving effect.

2. Drug treatment: When the patient's vastus medialis muscle hurts, he should take ibuprofen under the guidance of a doctor, which can have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. At the same time, safflower oil can be applied locally to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain. The symptoms will be improved after continuous use for a period of time.

3. Acupuncture treatment: Since everyone's physique is different, the duration of pain is also different. Some people suffer from medial vastus muscle pain for a longer time. In this case, Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. Acupuncture can stimulate local acupoints and relieve pain. After acupuncture, you can also use analgesic and blood-dissolving herbs to fumigate the affected area to relieve the condition.
