For those of you who love sports or maybe even you are an athlete, you have to be careful with sore muscles and nerves. Both are common complaints, although the movement was really quite effective stretching to prevent it. But do not underestimate this disorder because tissue damage may be more severe and chronic.

Muscle is a useful network to support the body. On motion devices such as the arms and legs, muscle function as a motivator. In the rod body, muscle is useful to develop and sucked into the chest cavity and protects other vital organs. To be able to work optimally, the muscle should be maintained properly.

Complaints of pain may last only a short time could be a few days, even a few years. In a moment of pain, most likely not interfere with daily activities. New patients would feel tortured if pain arises continually. If not addressed, the pain will be a serious disruption. Painful muscle complaints, including one man who frequently suffered.

If you are still able to move their neck, waist, shoulders, fingers, to raise their hands comfortably, it was a sign the muscles are still working well. However, if the occasional pain on motion, do not dismiss the complaint.

Could Chronic

Pain is an unpleasant feeling due to the existence of tissue damage, either in progress or has occurred. With the symptoms of pain, tissue damage could progress immediately handled to avoid more serious damage. Muscle pain is very different from nerve pain. Pain caused by nerve generally more typical, depending on the nerve is depressed. Nerve in the folds of the buttocks (ischiadicus nerve), when pressed will cause pain that spreads down to the foot, according to the nerves travel. Proper diagnosis can determine the type of pain that occurs, so that the therapy would have chosen the most appropriate.

The use of many drugs on the market, often an option to deal with sore muscles. Unfortunately, the use of drugs that are not appropriate, especially without medical supervision, can cause various side effects. For example, can arise gastritis (stomach inflammation), bone loss, even to inhibit the formation of blood cells.

“That’s why, muscle pain treatment must be done thoroughly. By knowing the type of muscle pain occurred and a contributing factor, then given the appropriate treatment,” added FKUI medical graduates who familiarly called Dr. Ati this.

Cramps and numbness

Have symptoms of nerve pain is different from other pain. Explained by Dr. Salim Harris, Sp.S (K), a consultant neurologist from RSCM, that the nerve pain will be an accompanying symptom. Symptoms include motor nerve function disorders associated with the ability of muscle movement, sensory nerves are also associated with disorders of the skin functions.

Nerve or neuropathic pain varies widely. The characteristics of this pain are a symptom caused by an accompanying disruption of nerve function. For example nerve pain due to nervous breakdown muscle activator.

This resulted in muscle weakness until clinic stimulation of muscle contraction (muscle contraction and relaxation repeatedly), tonic (muscle contractions settled), or cramps. In pain due to sensory nerve disturbance or feelings, symptoms that occur usually lost feeling, numb, so do not feel in touch.

According to Drs. Salim, there are some diseases that cause nerve pain, such as pain due to pinched nerve, metabolic disorders, and infection. Trapped nerve can occur at many places on the body.

“The most often occurs in the neck, palms, known as carpal tunnel syndrome, and waist,” he added.
