Different Types of Bone and Muscle Injuries

Bone and muscle injuries can be extremely painful. A broken/injured bone or muscle may include a twisted ankle, over extended elbow, injured knee ligaments, and a sprained wrist.

Our body has 206 bones and thousands of muscles that can be strained, dislocated, fractured, or also get sprains. The reasons for these injuries are- heavyweight picking, accidents, improper balance, slips, falls, improper weight lifts and trips.

• Dislocation- Dislocation of the bone is when a bone moves from its original place. The dislocation of the bones generally noticed in the elderly people. The dislocation can also happen due to an injury or accident. But this problem is majorly experienced by the people having 50 or above years of age. The main cause of this illness is the age factor and deficiency of Vitamin-C.

• Strains- Strains generally happen due to deficiency of Vitamins and minerals, as a result the bones get weak. Ultimately it causes stretching or tearing of muscles, affecting ligaments and causing pain. By taking proper diet, strains can be avoided.

• Fracture- A fracture is related to the bone only. A crack, chip or break, all refer to the fracture. There are many types of fractures that cause bones to crack without affecting the upper part of the skin. But in some severe accidents skin as well as bone both get affected. Bone fracture is one of the most painful illnesses that require a lot of time to heal.

• Sprain- Sprain is related to the muscles. The sprain is the injury to a ligament mainly caused by the excess exercise. A sprained ligament causes too much swelling as well as pain.

• Cramp- Cramps happen when the strong muscle contracts, which causes severe pain. The pain lasts for a few minutes. A soft massage can heal cramp. Generally, it happens when the same exercise is repeatedly done in the same way.

• Bruise- When the muscles get fractured, that skin part first get red, then blue, in the end, that particular area gets black. Bruise usually happens when you get hit hard or you bumped into something.
