Externet Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Hi. What may be the name for it ? Happens frequently to me when overexerting muscles in awkward positions, mostly twisting torso/waist while sitting on floor and exerting lots of muscle force. Pain lasts over a week, very slowly fading and typically side of thorax. Like a ligament/muscle ruptures, shifts position. Trying to read more about it with the proper name.

The lingering pain part is inflammation, which is a response to injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country Boy Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 That is a "cramp". A "spasm" is only momentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is over a week. Muscle strain probably. There are a few injuries that come under that umbrella term, which would likely need a doc to be specific. It's tendons that anchor muscle to bone. Ligaments link bone to bone. Edited September 23, 2018 by StringJunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country Boy Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Yes, but a cramp can cause a muscle strain. I thought that was what the question was asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From related reading, it resembles that 'definition'. Coincides at least with dehydration, (wringable clothing from sweating by abusing my body.) No, it is not caused by a cramp (I know that on my legs when scuba diving; abrupt pain for a minute or two) with no lingering effects. It has no immediate symptoms, shows only after ending the awkward position/effort for ~2 weeks. Perhaps it is known as 'old fart age.' OK, will not dig a trench sitting in the 1m crawling space at 31C again... Edited September 24, 2018 by Externet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
