Tendon strain is also known as tendon strain, for whether it is muscle strain or tendon strain, you can judge by the site of injury, recovery time, treatment methods and so on. 1. Different parts: muscle strain manifests itself in the rupture of muscle fibers and sudden onset of pain in the muscle. Tendon strain is the part where muscles and bones are connected, often combined with neurovascular or bone and joint injuries, localized persistent or recurrent pain. 2. Recovery time: tendons supply fewer blood vessels, and if they are damaged, recovery is slower than in muscle strains. 3. Treatment: Muscle strains require continuous cold compresses and relative braking without cast or brace immobilization, while tendon strains should be immobilized with a brace or cast. If you have muscle or tendon strains, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to improve the examination and standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
