What should I do if I strain my thigh muscle while playing basketball?
1, do not apply hot compress easily.

Cold compress should be used for acute sports injuries, and strenuous exercise should be stopped. The most convenient way is to take a plastic bag and put cold water or ice cubes in it for 5 minutes to 10 minutes. The cold compress time is too long. If there is a tingling sensation locally, stop the cold compress in time. You can take the cold compress bag away for a period of time first, and then stick it after half an hour when there is local swelling and pain. Repeatedly, according to the severity of the injury, it can be done many times a day.

2, can't continue to exercise

Most people often choose to continue to exercise when they feel that their self-injury is not serious, which will only aggravate their injuries and even their illness. If the swelling is serious after the injury, you'd better stop and rest, don't try to be brave, and be a "desperate Saburo". Doctors are more like repairmen, and minor injuries to human parts can be easily repaired.
