Twisting your arm on a pull-up can cause muscle strain, ligament damage, and joint dislocation. The causes of the disease are different and the treatment methods are different. Common treatments include general treatment, medication, surgery and so on.
1. Muscle strain: If the pull-up strength is not appropriate, it is easy to cause arm muscle strain. Ice packs can be applied within 72 hours to relieve the pain, and hot packs or blood-activating drugs such as Panax ginseng tablets can be applied after 72 hours to promote blood circulation and help the muscles to heal.
2. Ligament injury: Pull-up strength exceeds the capacity, which will cause shoulder and elbow joint ligament injury. You can use elastic bandages to bandage the joints to avoid secondary injuries caused by ligament stress.
The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen can reduce inflammation and relieve pain. In severe cases, surgery can be used to replace the injured ligament with a piece of autologous tendon, and the joint can move normally after recovery.
3. Joint dislocation: Pull-ups that twist the arm can lead to dislocation of the shoulder and elbow joints. After X-ray examination to determine the location and condition of the dislocation, the doctor will reset the joint. The use of a brace to stabilize the joint after repositioning can facilitate the recovery of the joint.
In addition, pull-ups that twist the arm may also cause fractures. If the pain symptoms are not relieved for a long time or even worsen, it is necessary to consult a doctor to diagnose the cause of the problem and give targeted treatment. The above medications should be used in accordance with medical advice.
