What's wrong with the pain on the thigh

People will feel soreness in the thighs when they walk for a long time or are overworked. In fact, you should be careful about soreness in the thighs, as there may be some spasm of tissue or nerve function. It may also be caused by excessive muscle fatigue. Patients should massage and tap according to the actual physical condition, and go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis when necessary.

How to treat thigh muscle pain

First of all, you need to understand your symptoms. What are the symptoms of thigh muscle soreness I mentioned? There are three types as follows

The tissue traction theory arises from muscle damage. The muscle spasm theory is that it is caused by repeated cramping of the muscles. The connective tissue theory is due to injury to the connective tissue of the muscle (such as tendons). In fact, chronic muscle soreness is caused by muscle damage and division;

Then the types of muscle pain are divided into acute pain and chronic pain. Acute soreness literally means the pain that occurs in the muscles during or after exercise for a period of time. Acute soreness is related to the interruption of blood flow when the working muscles exert force, that is, insufficient blood supply. In the case of ischemia, metabolic products cannot be cleared and then accumulate in the muscles, which then stimulate the pain receptors.

Chronic muscle soreness often occurs between 24-48 hours after training. The degree of chronic muscle soreness is related to the form of muscle contraction. Eccentric contraction is most likely to cause chronic muscle soreness, while isometric contraction is the least significant. When chronic muscle soreness occurs, muscle strength decreases significantly. I have obvious chronic pain, which is best treated through rest and conditioning;

Causes of muscle pain: When the human body is exercising vigorously, it is divided into aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration (that is, oxygen consumption is greater than supply). The product of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid, which is acidic. The human body absorbs lactic acid relatively slowly, and most of it will remain in the body, so the muscles will feel sore. Especially when the human body has not exercised for a long time or the amount of exercise has increased suddenly, it is also a specific cause of muscle soreness;

Specific methods of relieving pain include:

1. Get enough rest: Rest can relieve muscle pain, promote blood circulation, and accelerate the elimination of metabolic products. Taking more rest after exercise can help relieve fatigue. 2. Stretching exercises: When resting, don’t forget to do static stretching exercises on the sore areas, that is, stretching exercises, as shown in the picture. 3. Appropriate massage: Massage the area where muscle pain occurs to promote blood circulation, speed up the decomposition of lactic acid, and reduce the degree of muscle pain. 4. Hot compress: Using a hot towel to apply hot compress to the area of ​​muscle pain can also promote blood circulation.

5. Medication: You can also choose appropriate ointment to apply to the muscle pain area. It is not recommended to take painkillers, etc.

Ways to prevent muscle pain include: 1. Do muscle stretching exercises before and after fitness, that is, preparation and cool-down exercises before and after exercise; 2. Be sure to follow the principle of gradual progress and don't rush for quick results. The essence of exercise is fitness. If you damage your body, the gain will outweigh the loss; 3. After fitness, supplement with hydrolyzed whey protein and carbohydrates to repair muscles.

You must have a good attitude. Everything comes from nature. Only nature is the way of survival that best suits you. Exercise should be natural, pain adjustment should be natural, and the mentality should be natural and easy-going. If you have other adverse symptoms, please consult a doctor in time.
