THE HOMOEOPATHIC FIRST RESPONDER Back to Homoeopathic First Responder SPRAINS AND STRAINS A sprain is the over stretching or tearing the ligaments. They are usually caused by a sudden twist or bending of a joint. A strain is the over stretching or tearing of a muscle, fascia or tendon and is often caused by an overlift, a sudden move, or overexerting oneself to do something. Many times the two conditions come together during an injury along with bruising. These injuries may be either mild or severe and can take up to six weeks to heal, especially if a ligament is torn. The symptoms are pain, redness, bruising, swelling and stiffness usually worse on motion and touch. A severe sprain may be had to differentiate from a break unless the area is x-rayed. Give Arn. immediately after the injury and elevate the injured area and rest it in a comfortable position. Use ice and cold water with Arn. tincture for the first twenty four hours after the injury. If the skin is broken, do not use Arnica externally. After twenty four hours use hot water and hot compresses to remove swelling and improve circulation. If Arnica is still indicated aid the tincture to the water as well if there are no open wounds. Light bandaging will also help reduce swelling and provide support. In the case of a sprained ankle an elastic bandage may be wound in a figure eight pattern around the ankle, or if the sprain is severe, an air cast will prove useful. Take the person to the doctors for an X-ray if the swelling does not look much better after twenty four hours. There may be a fracture or a severe tendon injury.

I can’t walk,” he yelped. “We need the nurse!” called David, kneeling by Jonathan’s side.

index search health books site map Sprains and strains Sprains and strains are a description of what happens to the muscles, and other non-bony structures connected to our bones, when they are put under excessive pressure or strain. The result is swelling, pain, bruising and loss or impairment of function of the affected area. Symptoms The first thing you notice is pain, often severe. This is usually at the time of injury, eg "going over on your ankle" or twisting your knee, but some times the damage is done by repetitive and less major strains and the pain becomes apparent later and possibly even the following day. Swelling is often obvious, and this is usually very tender The area affected may be reddened and rather warmer than usual. Bruising usually appears, often away from the area most affected, as blood which is released from the damaged soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, and tendons) seeps out along the muscles and other structures before coming near the skin. Pain and swelling causes the part affected to be difficult to use normally. Diagnosis If in doubt you should seek advice from a nurse, physiotherapist or a doctor. This may be available nearby at some sports clubs etc., or may come from your own doctor's team, or possibly the accident and emergency department at the hospital.

KidsHealth Kids At some point, almost everyone who exercises or plays sports gets a strain or sprain. Strains and sprains are no fun because they can hurt and keep you from playing in your favorite sport or after-school activity. Luckily, they heal . . . with time. Some sprains and strains can't be prevented, but you can learn what to do if one forces you to the sidelines. What Are Strains and Sprains? Muscles contract and relax (almost like rubber bands) to help your body move. So a strain is exactly what it sounds like: a muscle that has been stretched too far. It's common for people to strain the muscles in their backs, necks, or legs. Bones meet at joints, those places like elbows, knees, or shoulders where your body bends and rotates. Strong, elastic bands of tissue, called ligaments (say: lih -guh-mints), hold bones together in the joints. A sprain is when those ligaments have been overstretched (mild sprain) or torn (severe sprain). Ankles, wrists, and knees can sprain easily.
