[QUOTE="Jasz, post: 228159, member: 61772"] [SIZE=22px][B]Have you treated a muscle strain?[/B][/SIZE] A muscle strain is when a person has a tear in the fibers of their muscle. The most common causes of muscle strains are overuse or an injury. Muscle strains can be painful, but most heal within a few weeks. [SIZE=18px][B]Symptoms of Muscle Strain[/B][/SIZE] The symptoms of a muscle strain include: pain, swelling, difficulty moving the affected area, bruising, and muscle spasms. [SIZE=18px][B]How to Treat a Muscle Strain[/B][/SIZE] The key to treating a muscle strain is RICE: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. [LIST] [*][B]Rest[/B] [/LIST] Resting means not using the injured area for at least 48 hours. [LIST] [*][B]Ice[/B] [/LIST] Ice should be applied on the area every 3 hours for 15-20 minutes in the first 24 hours. [LIST] [*][B]Compression[/B] [/LIST] Compression should also be applied in order to reduce swelling by wrapping it with an elastic bandage (but not too tightly). [LIST] [*][B]Elevation[/B] [/LIST] Elevation is important because that helps blood flow away from the injured area and reduce swelling. If possible, keep the injured body part above the level of your heart. [SIZE=22px][B]When to See a Doctor[/B][/SIZE] If you have a first or second degree strain, you can apply these methods, but you must see a doctor if you have a third degree strain. [/QUOTE]
