Dr. Lin Yunfei
Patients with muscle and soft tissue injuries may experience significant local pain, with severe pain occurring during bending or certain movements. Some patients may develop systemic symptoms such as fever, changes in blood pressure and pulse, or bleeding; in severe cases, shock may occur. A detailed medical examination at a hospital is necessary, followed by active cooperation with treatment. After stabilization, adequate rest is recommended and weight-bearing activities should be reduced.
