What about skipping and cramping?
Take measures as soon as possible after leg cramps, otherwise it will cause further damage to muscles, and the severe pain accompanying cramps will also make you.
1, lying down and sitting
Keep the cramped foot straight as far as possible, don't bend your knees, and pull the cramped toe in the opposite direction of the cramp for several minutes. If there are family members around to help, let them hold the cramped forefoot and pull it in the opposite direction, the patient will strive to ensure that the calf is in a straight state.
2. Applied medicine *
Apply anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment to the spasmodic muscles, or spray it, and then rub the calf muscles to relieve muscle spasms.
3. Press acupoints
Focus on pressing Weizhong point of the affected limb (the midpoint of hamstring transverse stripes, between biceps femoris tendon and semitendinosus tendon), Yanglingquan point (when the front and lower part of fibula head are depressed outside the calf), Chengshan point (when the calf is straight or the heel is raised, there is a sharp corner depression under gastrocnemius muscle) and Kunlun point.
If the patient's whole mood is very tense, you can pinch Renzhong point near the middle of the upper lip and Hegu point at the tiger's mouth with your thumb and forefinger, which can calm your mood and relieve pain.
4, hot compress to keep warm
Hot compress the gastrocnemius muscle (posterior leg muscle) of the affected limb with hot water bag or hot towel to improve local blood circulation and promote the excretion of metabolites. Pay attention to the warmth of the calf after hot compress.
Step 5 shrink and straighten
To shrink the soles of your feet quickly, bend your toes to the center of your feet, make your feet arc, and then help your legs straighten with your hands. If you are sitting, you can press your knees with your hands to straighten them. Hold on for five seconds. After the pain disappears, continue to press your knees, then slowly relax your thighs. If you feel pain again, straighten your legs.
Why does skipping rope cause cramps?
1, muscle rigidity
If you are walking on the road and meet a speeding thief who robbed your bag, your reaction must be to chase it quickly. This sudden and intense unguarded action is very harmful to your muscles. When the car thief flies away, you give up chasing, and your muscles suddenly relax, which is easy to cause muscle spasm. Similarly, if you haven't exercised for a long time and suddenly haven't skipped rope for a long time, it will naturally lead to cramps.
2, the body is short of calcium
Calcium can reduce the activity of muscle and nerve. If the body is short of calcium and the muscles and nerves are excessively excited, it is easy to cause cramps.
3, the muscles are cold
After exercise, muscles become slack. When the weather is cold, the nervous system will * * * muscles, which will generate heat through the rapid contraction of muscles, making muscles prone to spasms.
4. Wrong posture
Body posture can also cause muscle spasms. For example, it is easy to cramp your legs after exercise, and it is the same when you sleep.
Warm reminder, exercise is very important. Before strenuous exercise, jog to warm up, and then do a few pressing actions to stretch your bones and muscles. Keep warm after exercise and try to keep your limbs stretched, especially in cold weather. Sit with your knees straight and don't bend.
