RUclips 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
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 RUclips, 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 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?
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
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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.👍🏻
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.
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. If you wanted help with your rehab and an exercise plan, this is something that our team of physios can assess and help you with via video call.

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...
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
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.
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!!
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.
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

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.
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.,

They do but you have to be careful to allow it to settle and recover otherwise they can cause complications - here's a video that may help: ruclips.net/video/wHKczc_jfFU/видео.html
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 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 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
Hi Doc, if a rehabbed muscle strain is flaring up (even without activity) can we do massage on it? How do we do this correctly without making it worse? Thank you
As long as the massage is gentle it should be OK - but if your pain is coming on without activity it may not be a muscles strain but rather referred pain from somewhere else.
TENS can be useful - I don't know if EMS is perhaps a bit early. This video may also give you some ideas about AC joint injuries ruclips.net/video/eegEgaur-rc/видео.html
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.
@@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
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 is ice therapy good for muscle contusion? What other treatment is good for muscle contusion? And how long a severe contusion heals doc Thank you
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 !!😤
I strain d my left hip/leg however I don’t know when I did it. I’m on a 72 hour fast and after this I will head to a sports doctor just no insurance until November 1st….
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 🙏
Hi doc, i've seen a video on youtube wherein the ultrasound shows a bleeding on a patients leg and the doctor do aspiration for that bleeding I forgot who's channel posted that video. What treatment do you call about it wherein aspiration has done by the doctor with that bleeding issue Thank you doc
Hi great video btw, addressed everything. Got a question, I injured my knee, it was swollen at first and I did everything to get it back working, but its been six weeks now, and I still feel pain from my outer quads, and when the knee is bent the patella tendonitis is a bit swollen, I still feel a bit of pain when bending the knee, and running but I don't force myself to run hard, I don't know how to go about it now? this is the longest recovery time for an injury for me so, I don't know what to do? Could you give me some advice on it. thank you.
It really depends on what is wrong with your knee - it may be a normal recovery time depending on what you've actually injured in/or around the knee.

I don't know what you mean with soft tissue ultrasound vs. musculoskeletal ultrasound. There is only one type of ultrasound machine that shows images and it shows all types of soft tissue injuries, including hematomas.
Great video! Very detailed, which really helps to understand. And the most important and best part is the gradual recovery explanation! Thank you Doctor!
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.
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.
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 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.

10/10 video, I've had an inner soleus strain for like 2 years now, because no one told me this info. Its an on off injury, I just injured it again recently. I assume I should wait for pain to subside and start with simple movements. But in terms of strengthening how often should exercises be done?
It really depends on what you are doing. Low load exercises can be done daily but once it transitions into proper strength training, then usually only 2 or 3 times a week with at least one rest day between sessions.

What if I do t treat it for an entire year, finally have an mri and am told I have a Partial-thickness (approximately 50%) tear of the medial gastroc at its origin with some mild adjacent edema. How do I help an old injury that is still very painful heal?
The treatment is similar to a new one - you have to adapt your activities and the shoes you wear etc. to reduce the strain on it so it can settle and start recovering and at the same time ease into gentle rehab. Then as it grows stronger progress the rehab. A physiotherapist will be able to guide you through this process.

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.
Thank you Dr,but I didn't understand about ice because I used to put ice when it's starting muscle pull every time, Please tell me to read on comment to understand, thank you 💕
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.
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.
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.

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.

Is there always bruising or swelling with a level 2 significant injury? I tripped two week ago and felt something “rip,” but it was more the sound then the same feeling and sound when I tore my acl and meniscus years earlier… I can feel the pain in my deep glute max. I iced and took it easy and been doing it for about a week. Then slipped a bit and felt it again and then re did ice… now it’s been about a week and it feels better. Still staying away from glute moves, but can activate it and walk. Is this is a grade 1?
You will only see bruising if it tore very superficially and the blood is able to come to the surface. Even severe grade 2 tears won't show bruising if they are deep or if the blood is contained within the sheath that surrounds the muscle. Muscle tears are classed according to loss of strength. With a grad1 one you have minimal discomfort and pretty much full strength. With grade 2 you have some loss of strenght + pain when you try to stretch the muscles + pain when you try and contract against resistance - how much pain will depend on how severe your grade 2 is.
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 ??
I feel so much pain in my abdominal muscles without fever. I had Rhabdomyolysis last month. I don't know what to do ? ! I'm not sure if Rhabdomyolysis can relate to this ?
You need to speak with your doctor because the cause of the rhabdomyolysis is significant and this is not something that you should take advice on from anyone who has not done a full assessment of you. Your situation needs more careful attention than for someone who has just injured themselves with a simple sports injury.
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!
Does the part of harden? I think I got one around my lower buttocks but the area is harder then the surrounding area that doesn’t hurt from what I believe is a pulled muzzle
If the injury happened recently it may still be swelling that makes that part feel hard because it is trapped in the sheath. Your physio will be able to check it for you and advise.

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.

You're welcome, and good luck with your recovery!
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.
How often to strength train an injury?
It depends on the injury and the intensity of the exercises but in most cases, max 3 times a week and leave at least 1 recovery day between sessions.
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.
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.👍🏻
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!
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.

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.
Extremly helpful video,well explained in detailes !! Thank you very much !
Glad it was helpful!
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!
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
this video helps me a lot
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!
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?
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!
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??
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!

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.
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.
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.,

It can help reduce pain, but it doesn't really help with healing.
Hi doc, do muscle tear 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.

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.
thanks for this muscle Strains and am sure my muscle strain will be okay soon.
Hi doc, do musculoskeletal ultrasound show injury in a certain part of the body?
Thank you
It can be used for any soft tissue assessments of ligaments, tendons and muscles.
Hi Doc, if a rehabbed muscle strain is flaring up (even without activity) can we do massage on it? How do we do this correctly without making it worse? Thank you
As long as the massage is gentle it should be OK - but if your pain is coming on without activity it may not be a muscles strain but rather referred pain from somewhere else.
Will using a TENS unit or EMS machine cause more injury? I have very sore shoulder muscles from a sprain and inflamed AC joints in the shoulder.
TENS can be useful - I don't know if EMS is perhaps a bit early. This video may also give you some ideas about AC joint injuries ruclips.net/video/eegEgaur-rc/видео.html
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
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 is ice therapy good for muscle contusion?

Your explanation is best.👍
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.
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 !!😤
Hi doc, can musculoskeletal ultrasound show if there's an injury?
Thank you
Yes - it can
Hi doc, may I ask what's the difference between soft tissue ultrasound and musculoskeletal ultrasound?
Thank you
It likely refers to the same thing - there is only one type of ultrasound machine that shows images. Soft tissue falls under musculoskeletal.
hi doc, do doctor usually do incision when draining hematoma?
Or it could be only doing by syringe?
Thank you
I don't know - usually syringe
I strain d my left hip/leg however I don’t know when I did it. I’m on a 72 hour fast and after this I will head to a sports doctor just no insurance until November 1st….
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??
Hi doc, i've seen a video on youtube wherein the ultrasound shows a bleeding on a patients leg and the doctor do aspiration for that bleeding
I forgot who's channel posted that video.
What treatment do you call about it wherein aspiration has done by the doctor with that bleeding issue
Thank you doc
It sounds like you are talking about draining a hematoma but I'm not sure what you are asking.
Very helpful professional information, thx

Hi great video btw, addressed everything.
Got a question, I injured my knee, it was swollen at first and I did everything to get it back working, but its been six weeks now, and I still feel pain from my outer quads, and when the knee is bent the patella tendonitis is a bit swollen, I still feel a bit of pain when bending the knee, and running but I don't force myself to run hard, I don't know how to go about it now? this is the longest recovery time for an injury for me so, I don't know what to do?
Could you give me some advice on it.
thank you.
It really depends on what is wrong with your knee - it may be a normal recovery time depending on what you've actually injured in/or around the knee. I discuss how to distinguish between the main types of knee injuries in this video: ruclips.net/video/TIQfC7Wgb_s/видео.html

That is too broad a question - it needs more context
Amazing video thanks!
My pleasure!
Hi doc, can soft tissue ultrasound show hematoma?
Or it should be musculoskeletal ultrasound?
Thank you
I don't know what you mean with soft tissue ultrasound vs. musculoskeletal ultrasound. There is only one type of ultrasound machine that shows images and it shows all types of soft tissue injuries, including hematomas.
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 have a question what if a muscle pull occurs and you are not near anything cold or you don't have anything cold?
I have 2 mild tears in the shoulder muscle, they told me to swim. Is that true? Even if it hurts while moving?
Hi doc, do musculoskeletal ultrasound show bleeding in the tissue?
Thank you
Yes
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.
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!
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.
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
Suggest food for healing
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.

10/10 video, I've had an inner soleus strain for like 2 years now, because no one told me this info. Its an on off injury, I just injured it again recently. I assume I should wait for pain to subside and start with simple movements. But in terms of strengthening how often should exercises be done?
It really depends on what you are doing. Low load exercises can be done daily but once it transitions into proper strength training, then usually only 2 or 3 times a week with at least one rest day between sessions.

My right calf (strained side) has also been a bit swollen for like a year compared to the left. Will that go away if it’s properly strengthened?
Could you advise on this please
What if I do t treat it for an entire year, finally have an mri and am told I have a Partial-thickness (approximately 50%) tear of the medial gastroc at
its origin with some mild adjacent edema.
How do I help an old injury that is still very painful heal?
The treatment is similar to a new one - you have to adapt your activities and the shoes you wear etc. to reduce the strain on it so it can settle and start recovering and at the same time ease into gentle rehab. Then as it grows stronger progress the rehab. A physiotherapist will be able to guide you through this process.

I was not aware mine was a muscle tear injury ,it has gone to worse to follow all this process. I need solution pls
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 doc, can musculoskeletal ultrasound show hematoma?
Thank you

Thank you Dr,but I didn't understand about ice because I used to put ice when it's starting muscle pull every time,

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.
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?
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.

That was excellent. Thank you
Very welcome
Is there always bruising or swelling with a level 2 significant injury?
I tripped two week ago and felt something “rip,” but it was more the sound then the same feeling and sound when I tore my acl and meniscus years earlier…
I can feel the pain in my deep glute max. I iced and took it easy and been doing it for about a week. Then slipped a bit and felt it again and then re did ice… now it’s been about a week and it feels better. Still staying away from glute moves, but can activate it and walk. Is this is a grade 1?
You will only see bruising if it tore very superficially and the blood is able to come to the surface. Even severe grade 2 tears won't show bruising if they are deep or if the blood is contained within the sheath that surrounds the muscle. Muscle tears are classed according to loss of strength. With a grad1 one you have minimal discomfort and pretty much full strength. With grade 2 you have some loss of strenght + pain when you try to stretch the muscles + pain when you try and contract against resistance - how much pain will depend on how severe your grade 2 is.

Is it possible for a strained neck muscle to cause occipital neuralgia?
Yes, it can - but always get it checked by a medical professional when you get those types of symptoms to ensure it is nothing serious.
I feel so much pain in my abdominal muscles without fever. I had Rhabdomyolysis last month. I don't know what to do ? ! I'm not sure if Rhabdomyolysis can relate to this ?
You need to speak with your doctor because the cause of the rhabdomyolysis is significant and this is not something that you should take advice on from anyone who has not done a full assessment of you. Your situation needs more careful attention than for someone who has just injured themselves with a simple sports injury.
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!
Does the part of harden? I think I got one around my lower buttocks but the area is harder then the surrounding area that doesn’t hurt from what I believe is a pulled muzzle
If the injury happened recently it may still be swelling that makes that part feel hard because it is trapped in the sheath. Your physio will be able to check it for you and advise.
