The situation of arm sprain often appears in our life, which brings us great pain. First of all, we must confirm the severity and whether the bones are injured. It is recommended to raise your arms or move back and forth. If you feel severe pain during exercise, if you can exercise without tingling, then you generally won't hurt your bones, which may be caused by strain. Then we can determine whether it is acute injury or delayed pain. Two different symptoms, the corresponding treatment methods are not the same, judging acute injury is generally that pain will immediately act on the affected area, accompanied by fever, swelling and other symptoms, while delayed sore pain generally acts on the local area, generally does not immediately act on the skin, experiencing a sense of soreness. Therefore, due to different symptoms, the treatment of arm strain is also very different.

For acute pain

Ice cold compress

? According to the above description, judge whether your arm is acute or delayed. If it is acute, it is suggested that acute injury treatment is needed. Cold compress with ice cubes and towels can calm muscles and reduce local blood circulation, which can prevent further swelling of muscles and relieve arm pain.

Reduce exercise and rest and recuperate.

? Please stop exercising immediately after muscle strain, which can reduce further muscle strain. If the injury is serious, it is recommended to use splint for local fixation. The key point is to suggest doing as little exercise as possible to relieve muscle pain.

Sticking and enjoying the patch promotes the repair of arm muscles

No matter acute sprain or delayed soreness, after the treatment, you can stick a special plaster for sprain and contusion to repair muscles and block inflammatory factors of muscles, which can relieve pain, repair damaged muscles and reduce skin swelling. I suggest that you can prepare some plasters at home in case of emergency. 12 hours or so will be significantly improved. If it doesn't get better after 24 hours, you need to apply a hot patch at this time, about 6 hours. If it doesn't get better, please call a doctor nearby.

delayed onset of muscle soreness

Delayed muscle soreness refers to the increase of muscle lactic acid after aerobic or anaerobic exercise, which leads to muscle soreness. Generally, this situation will be relieved within 24 hours. It is suggested that you can soak your feet with hot water, which will relieve a lot. If you want to avoid affecting your life the next day, you can also put on a patch to effectively inhibit the increase of lactic acid. However, I generally don't recommend it in this case, so it is better to let the muscles recover naturally.

I hope it works for you.
