How do i get rid of muscle strains?
i have a muscle strain in my arms(triceps) and in my back.i also have a stiff neck so with the stiff neck and the muscle strains it hurts really bad.i think i have the muscle strains in my arms by working the same muscle group. i keep working out my triceps (by doing close grip bench presses) because i want big arms so i rarely do biceps and back and all.so can some one tell me if this is the cause of the muscle strain in my arms? and how to get rid of them fast? and also if it is important to workout other muscle groups?
How can I heal a strained bicep muscle?
From the MAT® point of view:Muscles get strained because they get overworked. Oftentimes, it is because they are picking up slack for other muscles not doing their job. However, we don’t mean this from just a “strength” perspective. Muscle Activation Techniques® looks to make sure that all muscles are firing neurologically – when the brain tells the muscles to contract, are they doing it? If not, the job still needs to get done and other muscles will have to do more work to make this happen. Overtime, if a muscle is constantly doing more than their fair share, a strain or tear can happen. It is important to make sure that you take this extra stress off a muscle to allow it to heal. You can do this by making sure neurologically all the muscles in that area are firing appropriately. Not only will this take stress off the injured muscle, but it will help create a better environment for healing because now the injured muscle can rely on other muscles while it heals!
Could this be a broken rib or a strained muscle?
I am getting over bronchitis but have still been coughing; about 3 or 4 days ago I started feeling pain around my right rib cage, on the front upper part. I thought maybe I had pulled a muscle from coughing so hard, but now I'm really confused about what exactly it could be because every day it's in a different spot. Like the second day I noticed the pain was on the side of my rib cage, then later it seemed to have moved toward the back. Yesterday I mostly felt it on the bottom back part. I also need to mention it feels much worse at night- as soon as I lay down it's excruciating. If I moved to any side it's really severe, so I have to just lay flat on my back, but as soon as I lay on the bed it feels like a spasm. And if I move my arm a certain way I feel pain around my rib cage and if I take in a slightly deeper breath than normal I feel pain. So what could this be? Is it possible it's just a muscle, or could it be something wrong with my rib, or could it even be a hernia? How long should I wait before seeing a doctor if it doesn't go away? Today's the 4th or 5th day I've been having pain. Thanks.
Leg Calf Muscle Strain?
With a grade one Calf strain there is a sensation of cramp or tightness, and a slight feeling of pain when the muscles are stretched or contracted. A grade two Calf strain produces more immediate and severe pain; the Calf is sore to touch and there will be bruising below the injury site after a few days. With a grade three Calf strain the patient is unable to move without pain, and there may be a bulge of soft tissue through the muscle layer. Early Calf injury treatment consists of the RICE protocol - rest, ice, compression and elevation (never apply ice directly to the skin). Depending upon the severity of the injury, the leg must be rested from sporting activity for between several weeks and several months. Many people find that a Calf Support is useful following a Calf muscle injury. Common Calf Muscle Strain signs & symptoms: * A sudden sharp pain in the Calf muscle. * Pain when stretching the Calf muscle. * Calf pain when standing on tip toes. Most Grade I or Grade II strains begin to feel better within a few days. In most cases, symptoms are either totally gone, or very much improved, within 8 to 10 weeks. If you have a severe Grade II strain, your doctor may refer you to a specialist. Depending on the severity and location of your muscle strain, the specialist may put the injured muscle in a cast for several weeks or repair it surgically.
Can I cycle with a strained groin muscle?
You can but I would suggest doing some type of recovery exercise other than cycling.The problem with cycling is that it is a repetitive movement where the cyclist sits in a fixed hip flexion position. Due to this position the hip muscles will be doing repetitive movement which is non ideal for recovery.A better activity might be some type of gentle movement such as Tai-Chi or Chi-Gong or similar activity which moves the hip area through a complete range of motion.Always use pain as your guide and slowly ramp the amount and intensity of your efforts.Good luck on recovery!
