Common injuries you may face in your lower legs after running

Injuries in your lower legs 

You may face these types of injuries once in your running timeline if you have spent some time on the track. lower leg injuries mostly consist of muscle tearing or shin splint, and a stress fracture in the worst case, so you may feel uncomfortable due to pain if your body is suffering from any of these injuries during your run. As for myself being a runner, I am suffering from shin splint which is stopping me to achieve my consistent journey of running. though the reason for this injury is my bad decision when I have chosen to take some more work from my body although it has reached its ultimate training limit and still I continued my run and got this injury. So before discussing its treatment, I will discuss the reason behind these type of injuries.

Shin splint

This type of injury happens when you applied so much stress on your lower legs that your muscles surrounding the front bone which is known as the tibia got teared up or strained from its initial form which can cause swelling or developed the pain in that area 

  • treatment: It can be treated in a week or two by having proper rest and not applying too much pressure on your lower leg muscles 
  • following a proper nutritional diet
  • using ice packs to reduce swelling
  • not doing any kind of exercise until the muscle is treated
  • wearing stretching bands or trying to stretch properly

Stress fracture 

The reason for this type of injury is intense stress or pressure on your legs for a very long time which ultimately lead to the development of very light crack usually on your front bone(tibia). You may feel intense pain if your body is suffering from this type of injury. The crack on your bone cannot be detected on an X-ray but still, sometimes doctors recommend to do an X-ray.
  • treatment: The key to recover from this type of injury is also proper rest but the duration of it can be more as compared to that in the shin splint. You may require 4 to 6 weeks to recover yourself fully from this type of injury and yes you can follow the same steps mentioned for shin splint treatment. Sometimes the healing process got delayed and you may require more than a month or two to fully recover. So it is recommended not to perform any work-out activity until you feel that you are fully recovered and also once you are recovered try to resume yourself slowly towards your activity.
  • If you are not experiencing any intense pain than you can just follow a proper diet and rest otherwise you have to consult your doctor for conventional medications
     In the end, keep your self-fit and keep running

Black hole theory

In this blog, we will be going to discuss how are black holes formed and a little bit of theory behind this and our galaxy. yeah, I have been into research since a week on this phenomena and finally, after covering a decent concept and facts behind this I think would be able to explain this to my readers in the simplest form of words. First, let us understand how this Quantum phenomenon actually takes place. On the very first thing we need to understand the laws of nature behind this and we all pretty much know that we can study the laws of nature by studying the laws of physics which were mostly given by Isaac Newton so it means that we can simply study his laws to understand the phenomena and expand our knowledge but No ! its not true in this case the Newtonian physics or classical physics cannot be applied and I hope that at some point we have heard the modern name of physics which truly alters the way of our thinking known as quantum physics or Einstein physics and i...

Hey readers! Hope you all are doing great in this quarantine at your home. As we all are staying at or working from home sometimes it becomes boring or difficult to keep our focus on a certain task after being surrounded by so many distractions.                 Our habits and our way of living; everything is changed since this pandemic. Although it has some positive impacts also but we people majorly focus on the negative ones. After acquiring from the people I observed that most of us are facing procrastination in our daily routine. We try to delay all those works which we used to do with full passion and zeal before this COVID19 situation.                All this we are facing is due to several basic reasons. But we will discuss the main one which is; a lack of outdoor activities. Outdoor activities help us in reducing our daily stresses and enlighten us with so m...
