I've been in therapy for the past few weeks for a torn muscle (at least I thinkn it is) in my forearm. this has kept me from performing an array of movements, especially with biceps.
I was doing shoulders (lateral raises) and felt a pull or a tear in my trap and it hurts like hell. i can barely move my neck or twist my head. i've had ice on it the past few days; any other advise? should i continue to ice it or should i start putting heat on it? i hate injuries.
ice only! no heat 20 minutes every 2 hour you are a awake. you can also use motrin 800mg 3 times a day to decreae the inflamation, electric stim or a tens unit will help subside the pain and relax the spasm , also use bio freeze or icy hot for relief thriughout the day. remember the ice is the most important, don't neglect this.
Thanks, Doc.... i'll give it a go.
any progress?
yes, there is! I'm not fully recovered by any means, but i took a couple weeks off from anything hard core, continued therapy and bought a professional massage instrament that i use on it ed. i went in yesterday and tested it out a little but i still felt pain so i don't want to push it.
hey thanks for checking on me.
