If leg pain persists for more than 24 hours, don't hesitate to go hospital immediately. Ask for x-ray or MRI scanning . Don't delay.

I sinseh Cina mah

Apa lagi u mahu?

Okay Mr *-+-+. Thank u for the advice

When a major muscle is knotted due to sudden over exertion, you need tui-na  ( deep tissue pressure point 👉) to untie it, or else the nerves system will keep registering pain in the body

Kalau lambat rawatan , badly stressors overdrive , in turn leads to loss of limb 🦵, even heart failure.

This is termed as aftermath internal injuries  ( AII) not detected earlier, hence build up to complication.

Talk to u also can heart failure

Here, not to scare anyone, .

Alamak

Many news about individuals delaying further second diagnosis , after 2 days , they just collapsed suddenly without any abnormal signs or symptoms.

Anyway let's hope your leg muscles will get better by tomorrow morning 🌄

To treat a torn muscle in the leg, follow the R.I.C.E. method:

1.  Rest the muscle,

2.  apply Ice for 15-20 minutes every few hours,

3.  use Compression with an elastic bandage,

4.  and Elevate the leg above heart level.

If the pain or swelling persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment options. 

Remember that the body triggers pain signal to your conscious 🧠 brain is to warn you about internal anomaly. Which sometimes cannot be pick-up or detected by latest investigation machine in the hospital. 

The human body has its own ' body wisdom' (kebijaksanaan badan) to survive traumatic time. 

Don't ignore or endure the pain signals from your body. It is telling or crying for immediate rescue.

¹ Muscles are tissues that contract to enable movement, 

² tendons connect muscles to bones, and ³ ligaments connect bones to other bones, providing stability to joints. 

Each plays a crucial role in the body's movement and support systems.

Each required different methods for remedial, when injured. 

U know all these meh 😕 or 😒 u study them meh

Hey sayang , kasih kaki mu

Chapter 1.  

Injuries to tendons and ligaments make up about 50% of all musculoskeletal injuries. Injuries to tendons and ligaments occur when their fibers tear or become damaged from repeated stress. Because tendons and ligaments have decreased blood supply compared to muscles, they tend to heal slowly after injury or damage.

In your case, the doctor says which one? 

A.  muscle tear 

B. tendon tear 

C. ligament tear

D. Combination tear 

( Can choose more than one answer)

Chapter 2.

Ligaments

When stressed and damaged from being overstretched with quick movements or overuse over time, ligaments can become sprained.

 Ligament sprains cause pain from damage to the collagen fibers of a ligament, which reduces its ability to stabilize a joint.

2.1 With significant trauma, a ligament can tear, causing the collagen fibers to rip off of the bone. 

Ligament tears can be partial, in which only a portion of the ligament detaches from the bone, or full, in which the ligament completely ruptures off the bone.

Now , for you, pin point where is the pain at this moment.

(Click here for anatomy of leg)

Above your left knee ,

Or below your left knee ?

Modern doctors ( MD) seldom educate the victim.

Ancient sinseh (AS) always share and educate the reality with the patient.

That's the major difference. 

MD : One is to solve the symptoms.

AS: The latter one is to solve the real root cause of the situation and prevent future recurrence by patient education.

 Chapter 3. Tendons

"Tendinopathy" is a broad term that refers to any condition that affects a tendon, causing pain and dysfunction.

 Tendonitis is a type of tendinopathy characterized by short-term onset of tendon pain and inflammation, while "tendinosis" describes abnormal tendon tissue from tendon degeneration and a poor healing process.

3.1 Areas of the body where tendinopathies commonly occur include the Achilles tendon of the ankle, 

patellar tendon of the knee, 

common tendons of the elbow (i.e., golfer's elbow or tennis elbow), 

or biceps tendon of the arm.

3.2 Tendons, like ligaments, can also tear with significant trauma. 

Tendon tears can be partial, in which only a portion of the tendon detaches from the bone, or full, in which the tendon completely ruptures off of the bone. 

Commonly injured tendons include the rotator cuff tendons of the shoulder,

 Achilles tendon of the ankle,

 quadriceps tendon of the knee and biceps tendon of the arm.

Question ❓ 

How can you tell a tendon injury from a ligament injury?

Answer:

A tendon injury will typically cause increased pain with contraction of the tendon’s associated muscle,

 while a ligament injury will not cause pain since ligaments attach bone to bone. 

Both types of injuries, however, can result in increased pain with joint movement.

Alternative Treatment. Your choice .

NOTES: 

* Ginkgo Biloba Extract & Benefits

The ancient herb Ginkgo Biloba is not one that works immediately; it usually takes about two weeks of daily use to really notice improvements in memory and brain function. 

So, you students-out-there: don’t take just DURING finals week; start a few weeks before!

As with many other herbs, Ginkgo Biloba works best when taken in standardized extract form! 

What does that mean?

In these more modern times researchers have tried to figure out WHAT makes an herb work? WHICH element or component can the herb not do without. 

By dissecting any herb under a microscope and by one-after-one exchanging components in-and-out of the unit, it becomes clear which element, or extract gives the herb its power. 

In the case of Ginkgo Biloba there were actually two elements: ONE was given the name GINKGOFLAVONGLYCOSIDES, the other the name TERPENE LACTONES.

When you purchase a bottle of Ginkgo Biloba, turn over the label and find these two components. 

Usually, you see 24% GINKGOFLAVONGLYCOSIDES and 6% TERPENE LACTONES. 

After that… make sure you take 120mg daily for the foreseeable future. That means ONE or TWO capsules. 

Chinese medicine also uses the Ginkgo Tree extract for a variety of ailments such as coughs, asthma, and Emphysema; ringing in the ears, eyesight, dizziness and vertigo like Meniere’s disease.

Do you remember all that, or will you have to re-read.

**Motherwort .

Motherwort Benefits, Uses, and Precautions

Motherwort, scientifically known as Leonurus cardiaca, is a perennial herb belonging to the mint family, Lamiaceae. Its name, particularly the “cardiaca” part, highlights its historical association with heart support, while “motherwort” reflects its traditional use in women’s well-being. This herb has been recognized for centuries in various traditional medicine systems, including European herbal practices and Traditional Chinese Medicine, for its potential to support overall well-being.

Key Health Benefits of Motherwort

Motherwort has a long-standing reputation for its supportive role in cardiovascular health. It is often employed to help maintain a healthy heart rhythm and to support balanced blood pressure, especially when these issues are linked to stress and anxious feelings. The herb contains compounds such as leonurine, quercetin, hyperoside, and rutin, which contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, potentially offering protective effects for heart cells and improving circulation. Research suggests motherwort may help regulate heartbeat and reduce blood pressure.

Women’s Health and Hormonal Balance

Motherwort has been historically utilized to alleviate menstrual discomforts, such as cramps and irregular cycles, by acting as a uterine tonic. It is also traditionally employed to address symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flashes, anxious feelings, and sleep disturbances. The herb’s influence on the body’s hormonal and nervous systems is believed to help regulate menstrual cycles, especially when stress or tension impacts their regularity.

Stress and Anxiety Relief

Motherwort is recognized for its calming effects and is often categorized as a nervine, helping to soothe the nervous system. It has been traditionally used to alleviate nervousness and anxious feelings, promoting relaxation without typically causing significant drowsiness. The herb can be particularly helpful for individuals who experience heart palpitations or a racing heart related to stress or anxiety. Its properties are believed to help quiet nervous tension and restore a sense of calm.

Forms and Administration

Motherwort is commonly available in several forms, including dried loose-leaf for teas, liquid tinctures, and encapsulated powdered herb. When prepared as a tea, its notably bitter taste can be improved by combining it with ingredients like honey, ginger, or lemon.

Dosage recommendations vary depending on the form and individual needs. For capsules, commercially available products typically range from 200 to 500 milligrams. A general guideline suggests up to 2 grams per day is considered safe, with the European Medicines Agency recommending not exceeding 3 grams of powdered extract daily. Tinctures are often taken in smaller doses, such as 5-20 drops as needed for acute situations, or 10-20 drops once or twice daily for consistent support. Always begin with a lower dose and follow specific product directions.

Important Considerations and Precautions

While generally considered safe for many individuals, certain precautions are important. Some people may experience mild side effects, including digestive upset or allergic reactions such as skin rashes or increased sensitivity to the sun.

Motherwort is not suitable for everyone and has several contraindications. It is advised against during pregnancy, as it can stimulate uterine contractions and may pose a risk of miscarriage. Due to insufficient reliable information regarding its safety, it is also recommended to avoid motherwort while breastfeeding. Individuals taking blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin, should avoid motherwort due to potential interactions that could increase the risk of bleeding. Combining motherwort with sedative medications or depressants may lead to excessive drowsiness or slowed breathing.

People with existing heart conditions or low blood pressure should exercise caution, as motherwort can potentially interfere with medical treatments. It is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating motherwort into a routine, especially if there are underlying health conditions or if other medications are being taken. Motherwort should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical treatment.
