Does it hurt to get a dislocated finger joint back in place? :(?
It hurts to pop back in any dislocated bone but it hurts more not to; especially in the long run. After you pop it back in, after a few minutes, the pain goes away, but you'll definitely have a little bit of bruising. It's not too bad, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Clicking In My Joints?
I am eighteen years old, and for the past two years I have been experiencing clicking in my shoulders, elbows, and knees. It is not painful at all, but my knees are getting weak to the point where I cannot run, for fear that my knees will give out suddenly (they have done this several times while I was running). I first noticed my knee issues might be serious when I was sitting with my knees drawn up to my chest and I noticed that my knees were out of the sockets about halfway; I tried pushing them in, but they did not stay. I experienced no pain when I did this. I know that older people have issues with these problems, but I am quite young and feel that something must be wrong in order for me to be experiencing this. Any ideas as to what this may be from?
How can I strengthen my hips without hurting my knees or back?
About 3 years ago I was having hip problems when I was walking, I had to stop to relieve the pain, then continue on only to stop many times. I was 78 years old at the time so I attributed the pain to my age.I had ordered a Me-Mover stepping scooter Me-Mover.com which had nothing to do with my hip problem, however, as I rode the scooter my hip pain disappeared which was a welcome surprise.The Me-Mover scooter is easy on my joints, and back since there is no hard impact when riding similar to a stationary stepping machine, but this one takes you places with style and stability.
Why do my joints hurt so badly, and I am so young?
Joint pain can be caused by lots of things, most commonly arthritis. I know, you think you're young, so you can't get arthritis, and truthfully it would be unlikely for a 36 year old to get osteoarthritis (that's the kind older adults get). But there's several different types of arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis can strike at any time and is an autoimmune disorder. It occurs most often in females. Gouty arthritis can occur when uric acid crystals build up inside the body and deposit in the joints (though this type is usually described as a burning pain). This occurs more often in males, and for some reason the big toe seems to be a problem area with this type. The treatment that you need depends on the type of arthritis you have. Or perhaps it's not arthritis at all. The quick onset may indicate that you're having joint pain as the result of another disorder. Untreated Lyme Disease can cause joint pain, as can Lupus, and Fibromyalgia. But my guess, based on the stiffness and swelling that has accompanied the pain, is that it's a type of arthritis. I think you should go to the doctor. If he or she can['t figure it out, they you can get a referral to a rheumatologist who specializes in arthritis.
If I run for a few minutes my legs start feeling extremely heavy. Why does that happen and what can I do to prevent it from happening?
There’s two possibilities here:Your leg muscles are weak and are having trouble keeping your weight properly balanced under you, thus putting strain on whatever side of your legs are having to outwork their current comfortable capacity. Solution: walk every day with light weight cuffs on your ankles, then maybe try some light jogging with them too. Stop before it hurts too much but go for long enough to identify what part of your legs exactly gets the most tired the most quickly, then add a few light exercises of that muscle to your routine.(probably more likely) it’s a lactic acid problem. You can find out if this is the case by, if you go for a long run and the heaviness gets really bad, laying down with your butt against a wall, your head pointed away from the all and both your legs straight up the wall (your feet against the wall up in the air). If that helps, there’s lactic acid building up in your legs too quickly- even for experienced runners, this usually happens by the end of, say, an 8 mile hills circuit. I don’t really know what to do to prevent the problem if that’s the case, but if you can identify that being the issue then Google probably has you covered.
Will jogging with my Miniature Poodle hurt him?
I don't reccommend vigorous excercise with any dog under 1 year old. Yes, it can cause damage to their joints and bones if they are forced to run too early. If your muscles were hurting imagine how the poor little puppy felt! He basically has to run 5 times more than your because of his height and twice as fast. When he is a little older then it will be great! Just remember to carry a water bottle and collapsible bowl with you and stop for a rest in the shade every so often
How can I protect my joints when I train in martial arts?
To add to (or elaborate on) Garrick's already excellent answer, my perspective:Two key things -- this is coming from a wing chun perspective:1) Gradual, incremental increases in power/intent are necessary when you're starting out. If you try to strike with the same power that your teacher has -- even if you were miraculously able to perfectly emulate every aspect of his technique (timing, form, muscle firing sequence, etc.) (and let's be honest, you can't) -- you would still hurt your joint. Because your teacher's had time to condition those joints.2) As important as it is to relax until the moment of impact, from a joint health perspective, it is even MORE important to relax IMMEDIATELY AFTER the moment of impact as well. You get power from relaxing before impact. You prevent injury from relaxing after impact. Tense before impact, and probably the worst that will happen is you didn't hit very hard. Stay tense after the impact, and all that power you delivered and that now is rebounding back into your body will be trapped in your joint. Presto -- injury. Relaxing after impact allows that power to travel back into your body where it can be safely absorbed/spread out. Think of a whip. The whole whip stays relaxed right up till impact, when the very tip delivers immense power. And then the whole whip is relaxed once again. (From a martial perspective, relaxing right after impact gives you the ability to reuse that limb immediately, which is a good thing in a fight.)Incidentally, one teacher has actually told me NOT to "snap" a punch or kick for fear of slowly hurting my joints over time. This man -- who taught and trained the "internal" Chinese arts of Taiji, Xingyi and Baguazhang, was one of the most frighteningly powerful strikers I've ever seen, so it IS possible to generate immense power without snapping.
If cracking your knuckles doesn't cause arthritis why does it hurt sometimes?
"Your knuckle joints are moved, releasing small bubbles of Nitrogen which creates the small popping sounds." source below You are basically popping your bone out of it's socket, and it hurts sometimes because that is not in the place it is supposed to be. it is supported by its placement in the socket and will hurt if it is removed (which is done by cracking your knuckles) On the VERY rare occasion yes, it can give you carpal tunnel, but unless you are constantly cracking your knuckles to the point where it can cause you severe pain, you will most likely not have to worry about this. Technically yes, cracking your knuckles is self harm
My boobs hurt when i run?
I have the same problem... granted your boobs are bigger than mine but I found if I wear two sports bras... one with an underwire and over that one I wear a snug sports bra without an underwire... its not the most comfortable contraption to wear but it keeps my boobs from hurting after my daily excersice.... hope this helps!
Should I hyper-extend my joints when stretching if I have joint hypermobility?
Absolutely not! Every time you overextend your joints, you run the risk of causing microinjuries to you connective tissues. While it may not hurt to hyperextend your joins *right now*, doing so repeatedly will cause pain over time and potentially can cause you chronic pain and inflammation like arthritis. If you’re not sure what is a “safe” stretch and what isn’t, consider consulting a physical therapist familiar with hypermobility spectrum disorders to coach you on some ways to stretch without causing long-term damage.
