A strain is a muscular injury caused due to poor posture or any physical activity that exerts a lot of pressure on the muscle. It is nothing, but a torn muscle or tissue connected to a bone. A strain can occur in any muscle of the body, but it most commonly occurs in the lower back, neck, shoulder, and hamstring, which is the muscle behind your thigh.

You need to use finger splint as a method of skin traction (the most effective method for jammed fingers). No need to take painkillers, it will subside itself. For getting back the sensation you need to opt for some ayurvedic neuropromotive remedies. You may consult me privately or whatsapp on mobile for a proper ayurvedic consultation.

Hi lybrate user ,The most common causes include injury, arthritis and normal wear and tear. Depending on the cause, you may feel pain or stiffness anywhere around the ankle. Your ankle may also swell, and you may not be able to put any weight on it. Usually, ankle pain gets better with rest, ice and over-the-counter pain medications.

1. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water per day. 2. Prop your feet on cushions, pillows, or even things like phone books, when you sleep. Also try elevating your feet several times a day as well. 3. Get moving- if you sit or stand in one area for a long period of time (like at work), this can lead to swollen feet. Try to move a little bit each hour, even if it’s a walk to the break room, a walk around the block at lunch, flexing your knees and ankles, or a lap around the office.
