Stretching can occur when careless walking or turning, running, jumping, improper load on the muscle and in the fall. Stretching the muscles and tendons causes pain that typically is felt not in any one place, and the entire length of the muscle as well as muscle spasms and weakness, swelling and discoloration of the skin at the site of damage (perhaps not immediately, but on the second or third day after injury). But the severity of these symptoms depends on the intensity of injury. Trauma there are three degrees of severity of the sprain.
2
So, if the damage is muscle or ligament small, the person has quite tolerable pain that increases with pressure or touch. Ligaments only hurt yourself or break is exposed to small amounts of them. In this case, the victim, for example, could go, limping badly.
3
At the second degree of stretching the victim feels more pain and, in addition, in the affected area occurs first swelling, and then swelling, as a result of which people can hardly move a limb. Unfortunately, over time the pain may worsen.
4
If there is a rupture of ligaments - strong, sharp or burning pain, the joint is unstable, the ability of the limb to the movement in General lost.
5
The presence of dislocation are recognized by such basic factors. The change in contour of the joint, this is especially noticeable when comparing with the same joint on the other arm or leg. The articular head is popping up from your usual places and you can feel the empty articular cavity. The bone shifted, and muscles contract so that the person is forced to keep the injured limb is not quite usual. For example, with dislocation of shoulder flexes the elbow and attaches to the side, and the head needs to tilt to the sore shoulder. If the lower jaw is dislocated, the mouth is not closed. With dislocation of the hip joint, the foot can turn his socks inside.
6
The victim is very strong, unbearable pain, which increases not only when he tries to make any movement, but if it is done by outsiders (for example, when providing first aid or when laying on a stretcher). Pain possible even loss of consciousness.
Note
Although external signs of stretching and dislocation are different, but the diagnosis can only surgeon. Moreover, in most cases, it still sends the patient for x-ray examination to confirm their findings and to exclude a fracture which may be complicated by any serious injury.
