Zhejiang

Xiaoli (pseudonym), a 27-year-old girl from Hangzhou

I encountered this problem

Xiaoli seldom exercises

That day, I took advantage of the rare rest time

I invited three or five friends to go to the gym together.

First, I rode a spinning bike for more than 20 minutes.

Then I exercised on the treadmill for more than an hour.

After returning home that day

Xiaoli's legs are sore

Then he took out the massage artifact - the fascia gun

I massaged at the highest setting for nearly 20 minutes.

To consolidate the effect

She kept doing this for the next few days.

But three days have passed

Xiaoli's legs were still sore.

It's getting worse

When I walk, my legs feel like they are filled with lead.

Limping

The urine color has also changed.

Just like strong tea

After realizing something was wrong, she rushed to see a doctor.

Blood test

Xiaoli's creatine kinase soared to 99104.8u/L

(Normal value within 170u/L)

More than 580 times the upper limit of normal

All indicators of liver and kidney function also soared to the red

Diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis

According to Qianjiang Evening News

Doctor introduction

Rhabdomyolysis patients are mainly divided into two groups

(The high intensity here refers to the amount of exercise compared to your usual amount of exercise)

At present, Xiaoli's various indicators are gradually returning to normal.

Doctors stressed

Improper use of fascia gun

This may further aggravate muscle damage.

rhabdomyolysis

and subsequent pain, hematoma

Precautions for using fascia gun

The fascia gun is mainly suitable for areas with thicker muscles, such as leg muscles, back muscles, shoulder muscles, etc.

When using it, you must follow the texture and direction of the muscle. Do not use it on the joints, and do not use it only on the pain points, because the pain points are not necessarily the source of the pain.

In addition, the choice of strength when using is also very important;

Avoid using it for too long. Generally, it should be used for 5 to 10 minutes in the same position. If you feel pain during use, please stop immediately .

Avoid using near obvious wounds to prevent them from breaking open.

Doctor's reminder

Exercise needs to be gradual

People who do not exercise for a long time

If after a sudden strenuous exercise

Muscle pain, weakness or fatigue in the arms or legs

Oliguria, tea-colored or soy sauce-colored urine, etc.

Seek medical attention promptly
