Acute Injury Signs:
While some injuries are immediately felt others can creep up slowly and get progressively worse. Here’s some warning tat you shouldn’t ignore the early warning signs.
Joint Pain:
- Joint Pain particularly of the knee, ankle, elbow and wrist should never be ignored.
- This is because these joints are not covered by muscle-so pain here is rarely of muscular origin
Tenderness:

Swelling:

- Swelling is usually quite obvious and you may have the feeling that the area is swollen or suddenly full.
- Swelling usually goes along with pain, redness and heat.
Reduced range of motion:

Weakness:
- Compare sides for weakness by performing the same task.
- One way to lift some weight on the left and then the right side.
