Inflammation in the forearm
Inflammation in the forearm is formulated in very general terms; it can occur in many different forms and also have very different causes. It is possible that ligaments, vision, bursae or muscles are inflamed. The typical triggers can be hypothermia of the arm, permanent friction or pressure, an incorrect load and overloading. A frequently occurring incorrect and overloading occurs during unaccustomed sports that are suddenly exercised intensively or during long periods of computer work. For example, forearm inflammation is in most cases a reaction to a physical and/or mechanical stimulus.If the muscles or tendons are inflamed, the following five symptoms occur, which describe a typical defence reaction of the body: The arm is reddened, swollen, sensitive to pain, warmed and restricted in its function.
Contusion in the forearm
A contusion is an injury that can occur on all parts of the body, as it is caused by a blunt force from outside. On the forearm, typical causes of a contusion are a blow, a blow, a fall on the arm or the squeezing of the arm. A bruise is therefore a compression of the tissue without an open skin injury and without a fracture of the forearm bones.
The bruised tissue includes the skin, fatty tissue, fascia, muscles, tendons, etc. A bruise is often a bruise because the violent impact injures blood vessels, causing blood to flow into the tissue and swelling to develop. Often the bruise is accompanied by pain when moving the arm or touching the bruised area.
How long is a forearm?
The length of the forearm is measured between the elbow (inside of the bent elbow) and the wrist (carpal). Just as all people are different in size, the length of the forearm varies from person to person. The larger the person, the longer the forearm. On average, the forearm is about 25-30 centimeters long, although it is usually shorter for women than for men.
