Talk:Strain (injury)

Risk
I believe this sentence to be untrue: "Nevertheless, people who play sports are more at risk of developing a strain due to increased muscle". Athletes do have more muscles, but as they acquire more muscles the yield point rises as well. Tendons and muscles gain toughness when exercised. Athletes are prone to strains as they get into risky situations more often during practice. Another factor leading to strains is preliminary impairment due to high stresses in practice or former competition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.177.163.217 (talk) 13:06, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Can Someone Check this Out ?
Please excuse if I am editing this in the wrong place. This edit is to say that I was searching for "strain" and found this article. Over the many years and in the neighborhood of 15-20 strain incidents I have noticed that two things seem, and I emphasize seem, to be very helpful and am commenting here in hope that someone with better access than I have to research can comment on what I say, anything from calling it anecdotal to explaining why it is reasonable. So here the two things are, and I do not see them in the PRICE method. First, and this may seem obvious at first but it isn't, immediately stop what you are doing that appeared to cause the strain. Second, and this was touched upon in the article as of 4/22/2013, take an initial dose of a NSAID right away. I've done it this way about 5 of the times (all the most recent) and I never feel pain after the first few minutes. Before I did these two simple things I could easily be incapacitated for 4-6 days (the strain was always in my back and always as a result of some ill-advised bodybuilding trick). I can appreciate that being overly inclined to use a NSAID could lead to worsened bleeding and I would like to see comment on that as well. --Rabidbilly (talk) 18:46, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Dubious
As I understand it, a tendon does not have muscle fibers, so I'm not sure how "A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon in which the muscle fibers tear as a result of overstretching." can be correct. Is there another name for a tendon injury due to acute overstretching? Some type of Tendinopathy? -- Beland (talk) 21:16, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Proposed merge
A merge has been proposed between Pulled hamstring and this article (not by me). Thoughts? --LT910001 (talk) 03:04, 6 December 2013 (UTC) With no consensus over 4+ months I'm removing the merge tags.--LT910001 (talk) 23:49, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose. A pulled hamstring is a notable entity in itself and should be retained as a separate article. --LT910001 (talk) 03:04, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Pulled muscle: more correctly ?
Hi. Not a tore, not a strain, not a sprain. Overstrain: yes. Pulled muscle meets it the best, my opinion. What about tugged ? (Sorry, it is just from english is not my native language. There must be a basically accepted usual lable. Probably strain, sorry.) --Visionhelp (talk) 06:32, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

tugged muscle just experiencing
Depending on the length or strength of tugged helaing lasts for months. To recognize from: the muscles make feel as turged. This I call a healing ´pain´. Together with a nutrient deficiency (human diet), Magnesium (together with Calcium, Potassium, at least). On the level stuffs processing a tugged muscle processes one (or more) stuffs, probably Lactate, which the body needs to get rid off, somehow transported out of the body. A requirement for the body to do this properly, is: Magnesium. With missing Magnesium the body tries to get it out at a next place, the skin, which leads to prickle, tingle. (In my case at the forearms.) Or/and it runs through the body. Preferably into the head, which feels as flu. But despite of without any cold symptoms, the mind not to use as with flu. (5 Skin and ´Allround´ Doctors does not listen to that at all. If not against any rule at wikipedia, presenting it here in connection to this topic here, I would be very happy. Thanks.) If not OK to say the following, OK: Using B12 once, a mineral´s package, Magnesium with Calcium and Potassium, brings each a more or less (but all): betterments. The current hope, with already only (but enormously) taken away the flu effect is the leaves of Moringa, as tea, or to use as food also. (Studies in Africa and so show, that nutrients deficiencys are going to be helped very much with Moringa. A most including package of nutrients (for humans). End of ´propaganda´. Sorry.) What I am interessted in, is: what kind of stuff is happening at a tugged muscle ? What does it help, to be transported off out of the body ? (Thanks for reading and interesst.) --Visionhelp (talk) 07:35, 28 April 2021 (UTC) (Up to date:) Getting this stuff out of the head, from the (metabolism ) processing (the healing, the pain in the muscles) did now help: a clay (loam) (natural) product, Immutox, including silicon, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, copper, manganese, nickel, zinc, which created first a sniff. And a blockade from being in head at about 6 months did still need a de-blocking. In hope, it is OK, to mention it here. Note: a statement to Magnesium I have to correct and to revide, the next days, please. Thanks. Visionhelp (talk) 10:31, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Muscle hardening
Under Muscle hardening (Jan. 2nd 2022: Wikipedia article does not exist) I could find in the internet many very interessting treatings, which can fit very well to Muscle strain, too. (To segragate muscle strain, muscle hardening, muscle pulling: is a challenge, even for professionells.) I only have 2 german internet-adresses, there will be trust worthy sources in english. --Visionhelp (talk) 17:16, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

This article uses unusual acronyms and medical terms without explanation. This makes it hard for nonprofessionals to understand some passages. For example, MSK US and diapedesis. Solo Owl Eall Ân Ûle (talk) 15:25, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
