Ligament injury can be seen from the activity (the greater ligament membrane may be visible). The degree of ligament injury is related to how you were injured at that time, whether the injury was serious or not, and the degree of swelling. If you feel stiff or tight during the activity, it is usually ligament damage. Simple sprain can be cured in ten days with some anti-inflammatory and blood-activating drugs. If the effect is not good after use, and it swells up after use, then it is ligament injury (if the swelling is serious, the relative injury is also serious, except for the influence of activity), then professional drugs should be used to connect the ligament (the ligament itself will not heal naturally, but will only stretch inward), and it can heal and return to normal after half a month of medication.
After joint sprain, local swelling, pain, tenderness and subcutaneous bleeding can be seen in the blue area.
It is very important to deal with joint ligament sprain correctly in the early stage. Because ligament tissue is not easy to regenerate and recover, if it turns into a chronic disease due to improper treatment or misdiagnosis, it may leave dysfunction and be easy to sprain again in the future.
After the occurrence of acute injury, activities should be stopped immediately to reduce bleeding. Immediately wash the injured part with cold water or compress the local bleeding with ice cubes. Then cover the bandage and press hard to prevent swelling. If the ligament is completely broken or suspected to be complicated with fracture, you must consult a doctor for further examination and then treat it after pressure dressing. After a day or two, the internal bleeding at the injured part has stopped. At this time, you can use a warm towel for hot compress or massage to reduce swelling and promote blood absorption. When warm and hot compress, the temperature should not be too high, the time should not be too long, and the massage should not be too heavy, so as not to aggravate exudation, edema or rebleeding. In order to promote the recovery of joint function, we should pay attention to the combination of motion and static, and carry out painless activities at an early stage. After the basic recovery, it is necessary to strengthen the strength training of muscles around the joints and improve the relative stability of the joints.
Main treatment methods:
1. Rest, stop exercising immediately, and don't let the injured joint bear any more weight.
2. cold compress. Ice cubes or other cold compresses can help relieve pain and swelling, because lowering the temperature can reduce blood circulation. Each cold compress lasts 15 to 20 minutes, three or four times a day.
3. oppression. Pressing the injured part with bandages or other methods can reduce bleeding and congestion. The bandage should be moderately elastic, and you can feel the pressure but it won't make your branch numb or ischemic.
4. Raise the affected limb. The main purpose of raising the affected limb is to reduce swelling and promote blood return.
Several points for attention:
1. The most taboo to do massage is to use hot compress. Try to use collateral oil for traumatic injuries (it is recommended that Hong Kong Baoxin oil hot compress is very effective).
2. All activities must be suspended to avoid excessive secondary injuries and sprains, and ligaments and tendons will relax. Only after treatment, the recovery will not be so good.
3. There is no healed ligament now, so you can only walk normally, and you can't do excessive activities and running, and you can't bend your joints excessively, so as not to cause ligament relaxation.
4. Before the ligament breaks, you must avoid eating chicken, beef and ginger.
5. usually lie flat, don't be too active and bend your joints.
6. Before vigorous sports such as basketball and football are carried out, the preparation activities must be sufficient.
