What should I do if my arm is swollen from playing volleyball?

I believe that in the 1980s, the Chinese women's volleyball team occupied a certain position in the world, which led to a craze for playing volleyball across the country. In fact, playing volleyball can also exercise our mind and perseverance very well, and at the same time it can exercise our team cohesion and collaboration. But some friends reported that playing volleyball can easily cause swollen arms. So what should you do if your arms are swollen after playing volleyball? Let us find the standard answer to this question together in the following time.

1. First of all, I want to say that when you first start playing volleyball, you must master the hitting position and hand shape, and don't hook your elbows. This will avoid injuries and improve accuracy.

2. It is recommended to use ice to cool down, which can shrink capillaries and reduce redness and swelling

3. If you can stand the smell of safflower oil, you can also apply this, but I think the smell is too strong and I don’t like it. Also, my wrist has purple bleeding spots and a little swelling caused by playing volleyball, but it’s not serious. I don’t think it’s necessary to use it. This is my personal opinion, for reference only.

4. Don't wear a wrist guard next time you play. After playing for a while, your wrist will not swell.

If it is just swelling without fracture or hematoma, it may not be a big deal. It may be tissue edema caused by multiple hitting. As long as you pay attention to rest, cold compress, or apply safflower oil or other Chinese medicine ointment to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, it will be effective. Generally, the swelling will disappear automatically in about a week. If there is skin damage, you should avoid infection.
