Do muscles get stronger after they heal from injury?
Yes they do! Everytime they heal they get stronger, becuase sometimes there is pain when they tear or rip, and that means you have more pain tollerence for the next rip, thus making your muscles stronger and able to stand more pain!
Does pulling a muscle make you stronger?
"Pulling a muscle" is different from what you're thinking of, which is "tearing down a muscle." When you "tear down" a muscle, you're breaking the bonds between muscle cells at a molecular level, and when they rejoin, they get stronger. They also produce lactic acid, which if not flushed out, will make your muscles sore. This is why people confuse injuring their muscles with the same pain that is experienced when you "tear down" a muscle and have muscle soreness the next day. "Pulling a muscle" is actually an injury called a "strain" where you stretch a muscle beyond where it is supposed to be stretched. Symptoms of a strain are swelling, soreness, and sometimes bruising, but without the bruises it would be easy to dismiss a strain as post-workout soreness. The main difference in the pain is that with a strain, the pain is immediate, while your pain from your tear down will happen later on, as the lactic acid builds up in your muscles.
How long does it take to recover your muscle after being in a cast for 3 months?
I just got my cast off. I had it on for about 3 months. I got it off about 2 weeks ago. But I still walk funny, it looks like im limping...is anything wrong? our is this just lack of muscle?
If the neck pulls or strains a muscle, does it grow back stronger after it heals ?
If the neck pulls or strains a muscle, does it grow back stronger after it heals ? Like how when you break a bone, they say it grows back stronger. That might be true, because I broke my ring finger by accidentally hitting my knuckle too hard. Now it's solid ! This is just a thought, I don't know the answer, so it's why I'm asking. How weight lifting leaves the body real sore, then it heals ... will the cramp in my neck heal even though it's a bad cramp, and then be less likely to happen again ?
Can heart muscle recover itself after damage, specially for young people?
What kind of damage, diagnosed by what means? Echocardiography showing the movement of the walls of specially the left ventricle in time is the most sensitive method to evaluate cardiac function.Young and older people can be affected by a non painful disease of the heart muscle, either a myocardiopathy we only partly know why it occurs e.g. chronic stress see Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, pregnancy, too high thyroid hormone levels, abnormal iron deposition in the heart muscle, chemotherapeutics see Doxorubicin Cardiomyopathy etc., or a mostly viral myocarditis, some can wholly recover, e.g. Takotsubo, pregnancy related, others partly recover after treatment, some won't e.g. those with an iron overload, after having had doxorubicin.Having had a heart attack, that is a wound in the heart muscle, after some time will lead to scar formation, which won't go away. This we see in middle aged people and it can be detected on serial ECGs, blood tests, and echocardiography.Many teens and twens feel all kinds of chest pains imagine themselves having scary heart attacks, while we know that most of these are caused by musculo-skeletal pain e.g. because of the tensing their muscles all the time. Some are so obsessed by this though that a negative cardiologic evaluation can't put their worries to rest, fretting that they might be the one where it is missed like from time to time is widely publicized in the tabloids.
What should I do to help my muscles heal and grow back stronger after a work out?
Focus on proper nutrition that meets your goals. This includes getting enough micro and macro nutrients. Not just protein. If you're trying to get bigger and stronger as you mentioned in the question it is imperative that enough carbs and fats are also in your diet. Sleeping enough is also hugely important. Don't do a restrictive diet. Your goals are to gain size and strength which means you'll need to put yourself in a caloric surplus with enough carbs, protein and fat. Track those four parameters and make sure you're getting enough sleep if you don't see the gains you want. Do NOT do any fad, restrictive diet no matter how "cool" or "healthy" it sounds.
Why can the heart muscle get stronger after exercise but not repair itself after being damaged like after a heart attack?
The muscle cells in our body, just like the nerve cells, does not have the ability to divide and reproduce after a certain stage of developement in human body. But a sing le muscle cell can synthesize new functional units within itself and grow in size. Because the heart muscle cells are dead after the heart attack, the remaining cells cannot divide and compose a new and healty tissue to replace the dead cells again. But to compensate these dead cells and sustain the pumping function and blood ejection of the heart adequetaly, they grow in volume and increase their protein content (hypertrophy). Regular exercise increases the cardiac load and the heart muscle cells undergo hypertrohy to keep up with this increased regular load. So the heart muscle becomes stronger and stronger after regular exercise regimes. I hope this clarifies things a bit. Sorry for the bad English, as it’s not my mother language.
