Generally, if it is scratched, it is enough to apply red mercury; If the wound is dirty, it should be cleaned with normal saline first; If it is a shallow incision, it is a good idea to use a band-aid. In case of sprain or strain, you can apply cold compress to the pain point with ice or cold towel for 20-30 minutes to prevent local congestion. Soft tissue contusion caused by collision can be treated by external application and oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain. If the pain is obvious, you should go to the hospital for examination.
Can you continue to exercise after the injury? General abrasions and minor contusions, after corresponding treatment, can be immediately put into exercise, you can carry out your own fitness plan as usual. As for sprains and muscle strains, you should generally stop exercising, and then adjust the exercise mode according to the degree and location of the injury: you can avoid the injured part and carry out some equipment training, such as strength training of upper limbs after ankle sprain; If the upper limb muscle ligament is injured, you can engage in aerobic exercise such as running and cycling.
Usually, the problem of injury is not caused by the injured muscle itself, but the weakness relative to the standing muscle group. The human body can make completely opposite movements because there are muscles that are opposite to each other, such as quadriceps femoris/hamstring, biceps/triceps, pectoral muscles/dorsal muscles. The injury may be due to the weakness of relatively resistant muscles, so we can consider strengthening the training of anti-muscle groups to achieve the balance of muscle strength and reduce the injury.
