One of the most common types of injuries is bruises. Any person is familiar with them from a very early age. You can get a bruise even when doing normal homework. Often this problem occurs during training, as well as during ordinary walks in the streets.
The most common injury is
knee injury. This phenomenon is often observed not only in children, but also in adults. It should be borne in mind that any injury, regardless of the age of the victim, can be quite dangerous to health.
Prevention of bruises, unfortunately, does not exist. The most effective fight against them is the correct and timely treatment. It is a mistake to assume that getting rid of this phenomenon is not difficult. The treatment of a knee injury, first of all, begins with a correct diagnosis, which is possible only with radiography. As a first aid, when injured, maximum protection should be provided for the damaged joint. In this case, even the most insignificant physical activities should be excluded.
Knee injury treatment begins with the use of a cold. Such procedures cause vasospasm and reduce the size of internal hemorrhages. In this case, the main objective of these actions is to stop the development of extensive hemarthrosis, since the resulting hematoma will compress the nerve endings and create strong pain. If it is impossible to apply cold, the injured leg should be raised as high as possible before the doctors arrive. This position of the limb will reduce the flow of blood into it, which will create the necessary effect.
The treatment of a knee injury carried out before the provision of qualified care will significantly accelerate the further restoration of the joint. In the future, in the presence of severe pain, painkillers are performed with a variety of medicines. They must be monitored by a doctor. Usually used anti-inflammatory non-steroidal drugs, in particular, “Diclofenac”, “Ketanov” and “Analgin”. Treatment of knee injury is also possible with the use of various ointments (Traumeel C, Fastum, etc.). In order to reduce the manifestation of pain and remove swelling, the doctor performs a joint puncture. During this procedure, accumulated blood is aspirated. After this, a bandage is applied, which captures movements and warms the area of damage.
Knee injury, the treatment of which, as a rule, is carried out at home, requires restriction of the motor functions of the joint. To accelerate recovery, it is also necessary to carry out various procedures, for example, physiotherapy.
Knee bruise and leg bruise, the treatment of which can be successfully carried out according to the advice of traditional healers, is faster when using an ointment with the addition of a plantain leaf, which is based on pig fat. Official medicine recommends using drugs that contain analgesic and anti-inflammatory elements during the course of treatment. These include ointments: "Lyoton", "Artroaktiv", "Ferbedon" and others. Quick recovery of the knee joint is possible with the use of chondroprotective agents, for example, cream and gel “Collagen Ultra”.
The usual period for recovery of a knee after a bruise is two to three weeks. If the case is severe, then the rehabilitation time is increased.
