What are the symptoms of tendon strain

Tendon strain is a symptom, usually manifested by local pain, swelling or tenderness, and sometimes subcutaneous congestion. Therefore, patients are advised to stay in bed and stop activities. Massage therapy or some blood-activating drugs can be used to help improve and relieve the symptoms.

1. Common musculoskeletal system injuries. Complete or partial rupture of a muscle or muscle belly transition caused by direct violence is called muscle rupture. Sudden and violent muscle contraction caused by external force can cause complete or partial tearing of the tendon's origin and insertion points, which is called tendon rupture. If the tendon is subjected to repeated minor trauma for a long period of time, or the tendon itself is subject to chronic wear and tear, the tendon fibers will degenerate and become thinner. A minor sprain in the future may cause the tendon to rupture. This is called spontaneous tendon rupture. Chronic muscle strain is muscle imbalance caused by excessive muscle fatigue, improper treatment of acute muscle sprain, or poor posture and deformity.

2. The general symptoms of muscle and tendon injuries are local pain, swelling, tenderness, and occasional subcutaneous bleeding. If a muscle or tendon is ruptured, the function of that area will be weakened or lost. The treatment of muscle and tendon injuries should be determined based on the severity of the injury and the function of the muscle and tendon to the limb. If it is a simple sprain, the patient should generally rest in bed, receive massage and physical therapy, take analgesics and muscle relaxants and blood circulation drugs orally when necessary, and do functional exercises, etc., and he or she will gradually recover.

3. For partial muscle or tendon rupture, non-surgical treatment is mainly used in principle. Use plaster or splints to fix the affected limb in a relaxed position of the injured muscle, take painkillers and reduce swelling, and then perform physical therapy and exercise after 3 weeks. If the muscle or tendon is completely ruptured, early surgical repair and suture are required, and plaster external fixation is used for 4 to 6 weeks, followed by massage, physical therapy, and active and passive exercises of joint function.
