Question:
Answers:
take a bit of time off to heal properly and next time warm up properly or the same thing will happen
Use and ice pack and stay off it
if you have wrapping for legs and arms, use that to hold a baggie of ice on the muscle until the ice melts. i have screwed up my ankle so bad and ice held on there with wrapping helps with the swelling and the pain.
You need to take a break. Streach it and try not to use it at all. That would be the best for it.
There is no "quick" way to make your body heal..only time and rest. I would suggest sitting out of the game this week to give your body a chance to recuperate. If not you may do some more severe damage that could possibly cripple you for life. To alleviate the pain in the muscles, you can use an NSAID such as Aleve or Advil. Try alternating between heat and cold packs. 20 minutes of heat followed by a 20 minute rest period, then 20 minutes of ice, 20 minutes of rest.you get the idea. An external analgesic rub such as Icy Hot or Ben Gay can also help to relieve pain. Good luck.
Hi i think you should eat lots of protein to heal the muscles,relax them as much as you can and have a massage or some physio therapy or try taking some antiinflammatory.hope this helps.
are you warming up before a game and doing a light jog after. i always have a salt bath if i pull a muscle it works straight away for me.
hope you win!
hot bath with radox relaxing salts OR go for a deep tissue massage, which will help get rid of the knots - if you're in London, book yourself into the Refinery.
I have a disability and regularly have muscle pulls and stuff, from what i learnt over the years it is important to keep as mobile as u can without over doing it cos it makes it worse if you stop all together, and i can recommend heat rather that ice, its much better for pain relief and relaxes the muscle
Make sure you stretch always, and drink lots of water!
