Dont know why people complaining about how long the video is, this is great content, she basically answered each and every doubt thay I had
Thanks a lot doc
I appreciate that!
Exactly
It's because most of us dont have much of an attention span le
@@SportsInjuryPhysio I injury muscle leg whith knife 🗡️ for 4years and still I don't run what caused that even when I play football I don't run and rabtured so painfull whith me I close to play tell me what can I do
If you can’t sit 18 minutes without crying over a video answering all your questions because you’re in pain, you need medical help asap. This video is pure value content, no fluff, it goes over everything: evaluation, immediate recovery and long term recovery. Thank you so much. ❤
You're welcome!
That's me right now I cant move because I'm in pain😭😭
It's amazing how easy it is to find quality info on CZcams. Thank you for taking the effort to create this video 😊
CZcams is a Godsend. It's saved me thousands in home repair and improvements and car repair. Even saved my life once when I had pneumonia and my antibiotics weren't working
Very useful tips. I have a calf injury and I am going to follow the advice and try getting back to my routine in one month. Thanks
You good after a month?
are you good after one month?
My man are you alive after one month?
Thank you So much for the information. I PULLED MY MUSCLE IN MY HIP AND I MY GROWING AREA SEVERE PAIN IVE BEEN IN FOR FOUR DAYS
I was trying to stretch with causes pain
NOW I SEEN YOUR VIDEO I WONT STRETCH. THANK YOU.
In the entirety of CZcams, you're the one explaining this the best manner. I pulled my left groin muscle so I feel tense in between my inner thigh and left testicles. No pain just tense and discomfort. Doctor said I've strained the muscle there. It has been 4 weeks now and the recovery had been slow. But after watching your video I understand that I need to be patient with it. Thanks for your content. It has put my mind in ease as I was worried. Lots of love ❤
I've had something similar to what you describe as discomfort but it's been sort of inconsistent
@@Siouxthenation It gets better over time
Ay no hate but u wrote an whole s.a 😂 no hate
same
I didn’t pull an adductor but I pulled an erector spinae muscle in my low back. This video is very informative on the recovery process. Are you better?
Excellent Video. This is what I was looking for. Explained everything with valid reasons!
Your videos are the best I’ve watched. It’s everything you need. I have a grade 2 in my calf. 6 weeks in. Slowly getting better. Thanks for the videos
You're welcome, and good luck with your recovery!
Thank you so much! My teenage son suffered a calf injury playing intense sports. We did not do the right thing the first week. I took him to a sports medicine doctor who did convince my son to rest it for a full week but did not give us good advice on what steps to take next. I think this video will save him from rushing back into competition and causing more problems. I’m going to watch your “calf muscle strain treatment” video next. Thank you so much!!!!
hi,can I aski if it has recovered now after he didn't rest,I had very minor aches from from a bike injury but kept working with but now I'm experiencing pins and needles in my hands after damaging my shoulder
@@davidanslow4294 He did end up resting for a full 5or6 weeks (i cant remember now) he worked with an athletic trainer and was able to speed up his recovery by riding an exercise bike, in a very specific way so he was not engaging his calf muscle, but it generated lots of blood flow and really helped him stay up on his cardio while resting. Also, when he returned to activity he had muscle spasm issues which was a bit confusing and made it a little hard to figure out if he had re-injured his leg. Fortunately I was able to talk to an acupuncturist friend and another friend who is a doctor and figured out what was happening.
Pins and Needles in your hands from a shoulder injury sounds like a pinched nerve or nerve damage. I think this can also be from swelling. Not sure if that relates at all to torn or strained muscles.
Thank you for this I stained my pec and I let it heal and it did great. Went back to Pilates and hurt it again. I will build up my strength slowly to avoid a vicious circle. Many thanks
How did you healed ? I have also injured my pectoral minor
i strained mine have you learned anything about healing it?@@rajeevsinghal6439
Lovely video, thank you for your kindness in doing this. I'm at 6 weeks after a grade 2 calf tear (21mm). This video is really helpful to know that what I did until now was correct, and now what I've not got to do to build up the strength. I wish my doctors or physical therapists could have told me this all at once. Rather, they just tell you one step at a time and keep me living in anxiety. Super job.
Gratitude. Thanks a bunch for sharing
we’re you able to heal
@@lokomotive28 yes. There is no longer pain. I haven't yet resumed workouts and running though I have been walking a lot.. and I hope it should be okay by now to restart strenuous activities soon. Thanks for asking. Cheers
@@synergiesunlimitedforum7415 hey thank you for responding , did you use ice?
Yes I used: ice. I also got an deep tissue massage. I soaked legs in hot water with sea salt I rested a lot. . Also did alternate hot & cold water pour on the affected area. All of it helped.
Thank you for your video! It helps me to feel reassured that I am indeed in the healing process. I've dislocated my shoulder at work, 7 months ago (don't worry, I've been looked at and had a few scans, but man this is ridiculously long and worries me)
I'm always & still am having a tough time getting doctor's appointments. My next one is in 2 weeks, but I wish it could be sooner. The severity of this pain makes it unbareable to use it, sometimes use it at all..... so until the doctor's app, I'll treat it as a muscle tear to reduce long term effects.
Thank you for your detailed video!!
How’s it going?
I got a muscle strain in my foot about a week ago. The foot can still be used, but pain and inflammation is the basic symptoms I have. I think I stepped on a tree stump. I don't think it's severe, mild to moderate, really. I've occasionally stretched it, gently. The problem is on the right side of my foot. I've used a bandage for a little less than a day, it's a lot better today.
I was playing volleyball and ended up tearing my right thigh's quadricep muscles rested for 1 day and started recovering but again slipped on the floor and tore it again now it's been 2days I am recovering gradually. thanks ma'am I followed this video and it benefited me a lot...
Thanks for sharing!
Wow. This really helped. I couldn't understand why when I tried to sprint after resting my level one quad strain for a month, I immediately injured it again. Now I know I should have rebuilt the strength. Starting all over.
Good luck with your recovery!
Got a grade 1 tear in my right brachiordialis 6 weeks ago during a set of preacher curls which reruptured a week ago, and yesterday i hindered a person from falling, which caused another grade 1 tear, but in my left forearm... I've never been this disabled and i have no idea how i will manage to heal both of them. I mean, i must use my arms for putting my clothes on, cook, etc.
Damn.. are you better now??
Thank you, I had heard that before but never tried it. I just lightly teared the very top of my quadriceps two days ago and today managed a slow run, over 6'/Km pace, without pain. I used to wait for weeks in the past. The other new thing from this video is the 10' only ice application. This time I didn't put any ice on because I couldn't find a way to keep it there, had I known that before I could have easily done the 10' application. It's psychologically so much better to be able to do something rather than sitting waiting for the muscle to heal, Subscribed from now on.
Thanks, and good luck with your recovery!
Extremly helpful video,well explained in detailes !! Thank you very much !
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so so very much! In a time where my GP have no hours to share and A&E refuse to explain me what it is because its non of their business and Physio appointment is in two months time your work and free sharing of information is endlessly appreciated. I watched few of the videos reguarding the area of pain and i hope to get it right soon. Thank you ❤
You are welcome, and good luck with your recovery!
thanks for this muscle Strains and am sure my muscle strain will be okay soon.
Excellent cleared up a lot of questions I had Thanks
Great to hear!
this video helps me a lot
Thank you for your valuable information, I had a calf injury from the football game
And this is very helpful to me
Glad you found it helpful!
Very helpful professional information, thx
THANK YOU! I have a difficult muscle to treat so I'm not sure whether I can work through the recovery alone, but I've been trying to treat injuries wrong forever. I just rested for days then started aggressively massaging and stretching. Now I know why my injuries never healed properly.,

When I sustained the muscle tear/sprain, I had pains deep in the buttocks, discomfort when sitting down, pain when bending. After 2 weeks of Rest, Ice, and Elevate, the above pains stopped, I can walk well without pains but I still can't stretch the leg. what do you advise going forward, to continue RICE or move to strengthening
How did you elevate it?
Same here.im 63 hurts
Great info! Thank you!
Question: How do I know what rate I should be increasing the weights during the strengthening phase without reinjuring myself. I've gotten reinjured multiple times without feeling anything bad during the exercise but the next day so I cant really "feel it out"
If the current level you are training at feels 100% fine, then increase the weights only very slightly for the next session and do fewer repetitions for the first session - so you test the new weight with very easy session. Then you build the reps of that weight up.

Thanks allot...
I was practising ariel..
And got a muscle pull😥
Same lol
Hi.
I have an injured by lifting something heavy in a bad way and the pain in my back Amy right leg has been increasing with the days.
Also I went to ER and the doctor gave some antiinflamatory pills along with pain and muscle relaxers but after 3 days taking them I’m still in pain and can’t get up from the bed at all.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.👍🏻
I had a large blue spot on the back side of my thigh below the injured part after few days of injury then it started disappearing itself
I can walk properly now but cant jump properly . What shall i do?
Thanks a lot.
I have looking for a way to solve this problem for sometime . Since I sustained this injury, I have been trying to get a solution to it. I will rest and when I return to the field, I will face the same challenge.
Thank you.
For how long do I need to train the muscle before returning to the field?
If it is a recurring injury, I would usually take a good 12 weeks to properly strengthen it and also use the last 4 weeks of that time to slowly ease back into running and sprinting and changing direction etc.
Thank you! Amazing video !!
I just want to say a very big thank you for this video, on the 23rd of July I tore my sartorious muscle during a football game to be honest I saw it coming I've been feeling slight pain in my muscle some two weeks before it happened, now I'm out of the game fully, through the remaining days of last month I've had to rest and do the RICE treatment now I'm doing lite jogging gradually testing my limits, I haven't been able to sprint yet I've tried and I feel the pain deep within the muscle, are there any special foods I can add to my diet, since the injury I've been eating more fruits and veggies... Thanks again 🙏
I think you should have added more meat and maybe liver but anyway how are you now bro??
Amazing video thanks!
My pleasure!
Thank you
You're welcome 🙂
Love your advice on gradual strength progression.
You may want to check into the turnaround of using ice though. 10 years ago, Dr Gabe Mirkin who coins the term and protocol of RICE, recanted the use of ice. There’s great education from Mike Stella and Kelly Starrett on the subject!
Ice is one of those things where I feel the baby is being thrown out with the bathwater. Instead of having a nuanced approach people are turning against it and there really isn't overly strong evidence to support a view of using no ice. I am yet to find any studies where they actually test how the use of ice vs. no ice affect recovery in real people - not just theoretical work based on lab studies that doesn't present what happens in the real world.
It's like with passive stretching - where people were shouting about how bad it is for you etc. and then researchers started doing better trials that actually represented what athletes do in practice (passive stretches followed by active) and found that it had no negative effects if you use it like that.
So far, what we know is that regular cooling after strength training may attenuated your strength gains. But again, post workout cooling has a place depending on the situation - if you are looking to recover a bit more quickly before doing your next event (so strength gains are not your priority) then it is something to use.
Instances where I still advise ice for injuries include:
1. Immediately after injury to help stop bleeding - this is not wack it on and leave it there - it is for 10 minutes - at this point there is no inflammatory reaction yet so it does not have an impact on that. But what it does is stop the internal bleeding to limit secondary injury due to increased pressure from excessive swelling and bleeding. It also slows the metabolism of the cells, so if they are starved of oxygen due to the increased pressure from lots of internal bleeding (especially if it is inside muscle sheath) then they are less likely to die.
2. If someone is experiencing high levels of pain - ice, for me is always a better choice than medication because it doesn't affect the system for as long and does not have any nasty side effects. Again, it is not meant to be used excessive but rather in short bursts and only as needed.
3. If someone has excessive swelling - in my opinion the negative effect from excessive swelling on the tissue outweighs any negative effect of ice applied for short periods to help reduce it.
No bruises or swelling, but a good portion of my back is in lots of pain.. ER said I pulled a muscle. Went to my spine dr. He said same thing. Muscle pull, you’ll be fine in a few weeks. 5 days in and it seems like certain movements hurt like hell. I feel skeptical of these answers the drs give. I feel like a tear in the back would need surgery? I also know the back is like one big muscle.Wondering if I need an mri or if my body can actually heal from whatever the hell happened. Thanks for the great information as always!
Actually our backs are made up of bones that are connected with extremely strong ligaments and then lots of different muscles. You have small muscles that run from each vertebrae to the next and stabilizes the back. Then you have several large muscles that are located in your back. Just like with the rest of your body, you can strain a muscle, ligament or joint in your back. Muscle strains in the back can hurt a lot. It can take 4 weeks sometimes to see any real improvement and then 6 to 12 to recover fully. Best of luck with your recovery.
I have a muscle strain on the bottom left side corner of my left foot very awkward place but it’s the same area as last year second time going through this !!😤
That was excellent. Thank you
Very welcome
I was not aware mine was a muscle tear injury ,it has gone to worse to follow all this process. I need solution pls
hello, thanks for the helpful video. When do you suggest to introduce and start applying heat to the muscle?
Heat does not contribute to healing so we don't recommend it, but if you wanted to use it, it is usually safe after about 5 days.
thank you!
Very helpful but what about using heat or muscle rubs sold in the pharmacy.
They don't offer much other than a bit of symptomatic relief. But be careful of using heat in the first 3 to 5 days as it may increase internal bleeding and swelling.
Hi doc, may I ask how to determine if there's still a muscle tear? Thank you
What are the symptoms?

Thank you!
At first I thought on day 1 you were supposed to eat rice to heal your strain it got me like "wuuuut ?" But I'll try the steps to try to recover asap because I really want to work out
at least you thought eating rice. i read it and said “wow maybe rice dies fix everything” and thought i had to dip my calf in rice

Hi doc, is machine gun good time use for history of injury? Esp muscle tightness

Great video.. Information 👍

I am trying to cure this problem since 5 months. I hope god helps me 😭😭😭😢
I have a question what if a muscle pull occurs and you are not near anything cold or you don't have anything cold?
I didn't know I shouldn't do stretching and I think I reinjured myself on my calf. So frustrating 😞
Thank you so much for this video! I just finally got a diagnosis via ultrasound for bilateral burning foot pain I’ve had for over a year. What I initially thought was tarsal tunnel is a bilateral second degree tear in my abductor hallicis that is irritating/compressing nerves and causing the bottoms of my feet to burn and hurt. I don’t recall any specific incident but I was on my feet a lot and pushing around a lot of equipment to do a renovation at that time. My diagnostician recommended injections to heal them as it’s been upwards of 14 months and they’ve not healed. Are there any dos and don’ts at this time? I’m waiting for my doctor to come back from vacation and am worried about what to do.
It really depends on your specific case so it is best to ask the person who has assessed you.
@@SportsInjuryPhysiohey i am suffering from mild abdominal rectus muscle tear can you please tell apart from rest what things i can do to speed up my recovery
Great video how would you treat a strained glute
Similar exercises to this video for gluteal tendinopathy: czcams.com/video/1UDZ9sEoR1Q/video.html
I fell off a ladder yesterday and I can't walk without pain (left leg). I get around by limping I've been resting all day and have been elevating my left leg. My leg is not swollen I just can't put any pressure while walking.
Still having that issue?
Hi doc, may I ask do severe muscle tear will heal on its own?
Thank you
You do have to do rehab exercises for it, but yes, it will heal without surgery usually.
I think I tore a muscle lifting someone who was immobile the tear is on my side . How do I treat the soreness
I have one on my side too are you okay if you are I need some tips
Very well explained 👏 thanks a lot, for am very grateful, I think I have a grade 3 muscle tear to my caf muscle 😢
Best of luck!
Do i need to warmup every time before start strengthen the tendon like 5-10min cycling to get the blood flow
I don't have enough context to answer your question.
@@SportsInjuryPhysio should i jump straight to lifting weight with no 5min treadmill ?
You need to do a warm-up that suits the session e.g. it is fine if you just use active stretches and dynamic moves to warm up rather than treadmill. And it really depends on what you can do without pain if you have a muscles tear
Hi doc, is it ok to exercise a muscle tear after few days even there is a still a muscle tear?
Thank you
You usually start rehab after about 2 days but it has to be gentle exercise and correctly chosen for the person's specific case.
Can a tear last close to a year... I still can't do push-ups.. it's in my chest ?
Great video! Very detailed, which really helps to understand. And the most important and best part is the gradual recovery explanation! Thank you Doctor!
Glad it was helpful!
I straind/torn my calf during a rugby game and 5 days later my calf is still swollen and tender to walk on am wondering if i might have done more damage than expected 🤷♂️
It is normal for a severe calf strain to be swollen and sore for several weeks. Fully recovery can take 6 to 12 weeks depending on how bad it is. Make sure you strengthen it up properly before you go back to sport. I share some tips here czcams.com/video/CmgQp_gAdZI/video.html

Thanks for ur vid really helped me I pulled my oblique muscle while running and now it hurts to sort of twist or bend down. It’s a grade 1 injury and I’m wondering how long should it take to heal
Should be about 6 weeks.
Helllo,i think i strained my arm and back,becouse it hurts in the back and biceps i think.Today 3 weeks i rested it ,but its like big discomfort,does it will heal in week period ?Thank u❤
I can't tell how long it will take to heal as it is not clear what injury you have - get it diagnosed by a physiotherapist and they will be able to tell you how long it will take to heal and what you must do to help it recover.
I have strained my back muscle 6 months ago..but it hadn't healed till now.i am in pain nd stress.i have consulted and did physiotherapy .They suggested me to gently stretch and apply heat..continuing.its painful
I was accelerating and lost control with the first push but kept on going two more times and lost control again. I can't even walk properly
Hi doc, what would be the treatment if muscle is completely torn?
Thank you
It depends on what muscle it is and where it happened - best to ask the doctor in charge of your care since they will have better insights into your situation
is not warming up before the workout reason for a muscle injury?
Yes, that can be a cause.
I have pain on my upper back and neck, I am okay while eating muscle relaxers but the day I leave it the pain comes back😢 what should I do?

I've had a pull muscle for 2 months in my upper leg. Been to 2 doctors. I put ice bag and cream.as long as I'm sitting I don't feel it till I get on it and put pressure on it. I'm tired of hurting
Does anyone have any advice what to do. Thanks
Get it checked by a physio rather than doctor - physios are better at dealing with these types of injuries
Hello Marieke, thank you so much! binge watched your videos. I fell a month ago, but when i got up nothing was hurting, so i didn’t pay any attention. in about a week my knee started to hurt. still i didn’t pay much attention until it got so bad I couldn’t step on it.
two more weeks passed meanwhile.
went to the emergency (because it takes ages here to make an appointment without an emergency). the doctor said it’s a strain, rest and take nimesil.
I am wondering, if I possibly have done a permanent damage to myself by not applying measures on the day of injury.
after a week of icing and rest and using crutches it better, but as soon as it got better I started stepping on it again and now it feels as if it’s getting slightly worse again.
what would be the best possible action for someone who missed the opportunity of treatment on the day of injury? is it possible to recover or can it become a permanent damage?
I would suggest you consult a physiotherapist who can give you more detailed advice about what exercises to do and how to start weightbearing on it in a way that suits your injury. It will heal just fine but you do need to understand what is going on and what you must do to help it. You left this comment on the muscle tear video - this does not sound like a muscle tear, so you really need to get it diagnosed as well and a physiotherapist can do that.

I pulled a muscle a couple months ago, it’s not bad, I couldn’t walk comfortably for the first couple of days, but now I can walk just fine. But I may have started stretching too soon because I still can hardly stretch to the full extent and I miss doing my full workouts :( should I just start from the beginning of the recovery stage?
Yes, ease right back and treat it as a new injury. Gauge what it can do at this moment and time and try not to dwell on what you could do before. You will get there but you have to go slowly and be patient. Good luck!
Is going to a week + I got this pain in my leg
I can easily work without feeling anything pain but whenever am playing football I feel it so quick
Please what can I do to fixed this pain

I have 2 mild tears in the shoulder muscle, they told me to swim. Is that true? Even if it hurts while moving?
Three days back, I experienced a strain in my pectoralis major muscle while exercising, accompanied by a tearing sound. Consequently, I developed significant bruising on my biceps. The initial days were marked by intense pain, which has gradually subsided since then. The severity of the strain is uncertain, likely falling between grade 2 and 3, although a definitive diagnosis without medical consultation is challenging. Initially, I couldn't lift my arm sideways, but now I can. Though not completely pain-free, the discomfort has notably reduced compared to the initial two days. Are there alternative methods to determine the extent of the strain besides consulting a doctor? Thanks in advance!
Not really - you need to test the affected muscle and I am not even sure what it is that you have torn from what you describe. One also need to look at the anatomy and make sure the tendon isn't affected.
Hi I’m volunteering in turkey. I got so much pain in my groin and from my hip bone area the pain is going down to below my knee on my left leg the pain is so intense! It started 48 hours a go and the pain is still unbearable and the pain comes and goes like a wave. I don’t know what to do? The pain killer the hospital put in the IVy Help me rest for 1-2 hours but as-soon😊 as I move the pain comes back ??
At what point after a calf Strain, can I start progressively exercise to reinforce my calf muscle? I also do weight lifting , leg press, about every 10 days to failure, should I stop doing it until full healing of my calf?
Can you share your rehab plan ? I'm in a similar situation
Suggest food for healing
I strained or tore a muscle inside my right upper thigh about 2 weeks ago. It only started hurting 4 days ago, and I started using a crutch to stay mobile but take the weight off it. Today I feel slighly better but still need the crutch. What small movements can I do, like the ones you showed with the calf muscle, to start to get this area back to full health? I've cancelled my acquagym as we're concentrating on legs right now and that just isn't good for me right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I can't really advise on what to do because it doesn't sound like a normal strain injury. When you strain a muscle, the pain sets in immediately - it doesn't take 10 days to start. Best to get it checked by a physiotherapist.
Not sure what I have? I went to Dr and have muscle relaxers. I have tight cramping, and trouble walking like a charly horse that wont leave ouch! I put ice no help. Heat no help. Help! Not,sure what to do. Soremarea to touch on low left back and radiates down leg.
It sounds like you've injured your back - a physiotherapist will be able to assess it and provide the correct treatment advice for your case.
After 7+10 weeks (reinjured it after 7 weeks), I see little progress, what do I do? Healing is 2-4 times slower than expected... Doctor and physical therapy didnt help
I can't really comment without knowing the small details of everything that is applicable to your case. Physiotherapy can vary dramatically depending on the person you see, so it may be that the physiotherapy that was performed or prescribed wasn't right for your case.

hi Maryke, thank you for another helpful video. my hamstring feels really good now,since tearing it slipping on mud and rain, ((19 days ago) but like you said it's weak. i have been walking just fine now, on long walks. tried to do a light jog, and the leg feels so heavy! and it seems wherever the blood traveled it ached. my calf is pretty tender still. it wasn't in the begining. is this normal?
Hi Christine - yes, this can be normal if you've not strengthened it properly. If you strengthen it before going back to running it should handle it better.
If you wanted help with your rehab and an exercise plan, this is something that our team of physios can help you with via video call. You can read more about how the online consultations work here: www.sports-injury-physio.com/

I can feel it laying down, but, walking is likema cramp and i end up bending over in pain. It doesnt seemmto loosen up and when i touch area down left side of leg its sore very sore.
Hi doc, may I ask do hot compress good for tendon injury?
Thank you
It can help reduce pain, but it doesn't really help with healing.
I think I just did everything she told me not to do after the strain might be screwed
Does anyone know if you do the strength training everyday

Hi doc, may I ask what would be the treatment if bleeding has found on hand ultrasound?
Thank you
That is too broad a question - it needs more context
What about a shoulder injury?
Hi doc, do severe muscle injury heal on its own?
Thank you
It does but you have to also do strengthening exercises to help it grow strong again - starting with very gentle things and increasing intensity as it heals.
i (think) i have received a level 1 or 2 muscle strain. it hurts whenever i rest it, and hurts a bit more when i walk and jog, but hurts terribly if i run. i have to do a ten minute run for gym class every wednesday too, so this is gonna suck. especially since that’s tomorrow and my parents just keep forgetting to write me a note for me to take.
