What Sports Injury Do You Have?

If you exercise regularly, the occasional injury is inevitable. That's why it's important to know what you're dealing with.

You'll often hear people say they've "pulled a muscle." What they're really mean is a strain, which is an injury to a muscle or the tendon that anchors that muscle to your bone. A sprain, on the other hand, affects the ligaments that connect bone to bone.
 
How badly you damage these tissues determines the treatment and recovery. First-degree injuries are generally mild and can be taken care of at home. But what if your pain threshold is low or you're just not sure how bad it really is? See your doctor.

"Erring on the side of caution is better than waiting, suffering and eventually finding out you have a serious fracture," says Marilyn Moffat, Ph.D., professor of physical therapy at New York University, and co-author of The American Physical Therapy Association's Book of Body Maintenance and Repair(Holt Paperbacks) and Age-Defying Fitness(Peachtree Publishers). Anything more than a first-degree sprain or strain should be seen by your doctor immediately.

First-degree: Occurs when the muscle fibers, tendons or ligaments are stretched beyond normal capacity and possibly involves microscopic tearing. Pain and swelling occur, but they last only a couple days with proper treatment.

Second-degree: Partial, but not complete, tearing of the tissue. Pain and swelling are moderate to severe. Bearing weight on the injury is often painful. Healing happens in weeks or months, not days.
 
Third-degree: A complete tear, also known as a rupture, which makes it impossible to bear any weight on the joint. In a word, pop. Followed closely by a scream, the word "ouch" -- or possibly an unrepeatable term. You'll need surgery to repair severed tissues.
 
Another way to assess the damage is by how much pain you're in. "Pain is a wonderful indicator of the intensity of the injury," Moffat says. "So do not minimize its importance."
 
The worse the pain, the worse the injury, and the faster you should get to the doctor.

So you sprained, strained or tweaked some body part. What now?
 
Your main goal is to reduce swelling, which can otherwise lead to inflammation and prolong healing. "I recommend P.R.I.C.E. for injuries," Moffat says.

Protection: Bandage, brace or use crutches for your injury when necessary. Don't use the brace or bandage as an excuse to keep playing on an injury. This will only increase the time it takes to heal and will weaken the area, making it reliant on braces.
 
Rest: Get off the injury and stay off. Don't use the injured limb until swelling is reduced.

Ice: "The sooner you ice, the less swelling and inflammation you'll experience, and the faster you'll heal," Moffat says. "Ice on and off for 72 hours, 20 minutes at a time," Moffat advises.
 
Never apply ice directly to the skin, which can lead to frostbite. Wrapping it in a thin cloth or towel will protect your skin. A bag of frozen peas is a great makeshift ice pack you can use and reuse.
 
Compression: Wrapping the injury (not too tightly!) in an ACE bandage helps reduce swelling.

Elevation: Whenever possible, keep the injury above heart-level to reduce swelling.
 
When is it OK to use heat? If you just want to soothe sore muscles or chronic pain and stiffness, a hot bath may bring relief. But an acute injury needs ice.
Take Action:
  • Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
  • Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost it's case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • NEW: "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! NBC, Really? Update June 1, 2011: Trump now claims that Obama's long form, original birth certificate is fake. And NBC keeps this hater? NBC, You Kidding Us?

GOPride and Prejudice
Karl Frisch - July 5, 2011 - Huffington Post

In the summer of 1969, riots erupted in and around New York City's Stonewall Inn as throngs of angry lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans, exhausted by years of harassment, confronted police officers. Facing yet another bar raid designed to intimidate, these courageous would-be activists decided to stand up and, in doing so, began the modern LGBT civil rights movement.

Forty-two years later, as I marched down Christopher Street passing the Stonewall Inn during the annual pride parade, I was met by an entirely different atmosphere, one of celebration and gratitude.

With the stroke of a pen, Governor Andrew Cuomo brought marriage equality to the Empire State, and with it, gay men and lesbians became eligible for the 1,324 rights and responsibilities enjoyed by their straight counterparts living in committed, loving relationships.

Cuomo was hardly alone in the fight for marriage equality in New York. After the legislation cleared the State Assembly with 80 votes, it passed in the GOP-controlled State Senate when four Republicans bucked their party line and voted for equality.

Talk about a demonstration of GOPride.

The Party of Lincoln -- yes, a small fraction, but still -- took up his mantle and once again made things better for an entire group of people.

Unfortunately, some of the candidates for the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination are little more than a speech away from inciting hate crimes.

Let's take the GOP's great white hope du jour as our example: Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who has focused much of her attention during her career in public service on the persecution of the LGBT community.

Before we dig too deep, it is important to point out that Bachmann's husband Marcus apparently believes in "reparative therapy" to transform gay people into straight. Marcus Bachmann, a Christian counselor who has reportedly provided such treatment, said of lesbians and gay men, "We have to understand that barbarians need to be educated, need to be disciplined. And just because someone thinks (they are gay) or feels it doesn't mean we need to go down that road."

It must make it easy to slime gays and lesbians with hogwash when you don't even see them as humans. The Minnesota congresswoman, too, has had harsh, hateful words for the LGBT community. She's called being gay a "sexual dysfunction" and said if marriage equality were the law of the land, parents would be unable to "protect" their children. She has said that being gay is akin to being in "bondage" and that it is "part of Satan I think to say that this is 'gay.' It's anything but gay."

I hate to break it to the congresswoman, but children don't need protection from the LGBT community; they need protection from hate mongers like her.

Beyond her words, Bachmann's actions have been equally troubling, if not more so.

As a state senator, Bachmann sponsored a state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, which was already illegal in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. As the LGBT community organized against the amendment, Bachman was photographed hiding in the bushes spying on a rally at the state capital in opposition to her efforts.

Then there was the time she claimed that a former nun held her captive in a Minnesota ladies room. You read that right.

After ending a town hall meeting 20 minutes early when the same-sex marriage subject was broached, Bachmann reportedly excused herself to a restroom, where she was confronted by two women, one a former nun, who wanted to discuss marriage equality and theology with Bachmann. It was then that Senator Bachmann screamed, "Help! I'm being held against my will!" She then fled, "crying," to her vehicle waiting outside. According to the police report, Bachmann was "absolutely terrified and has never been that terrorized before as she had no idea what those two women were going to do to her." The local county attorney declined to prosecute the women, writing that it was clear the two women "simply wanted to discuss certain issues further with Ms. Bachmann."

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Republican presidential candidate currently occupying center stage.

With few exceptions, the remaining leading GOP contenders don't shape up much better than Bachmann when it comes to the simple human dignity and legal equality of the LGBT community.

While not surprising, it really is a shame that these White House hopefuls haven't an ounce of the courage displayed by a handful of Republicans in the New York State Senate.
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
