An overuse injury is typically a muscle or joint injury that is caused by any repetitive action or movement. These are seen in sports with such movements such as rowing, as well as jobs requiring repetitive movements, which can even be a desk job caused by typing throughout the day. Symptoms of an overuse injury may be swelling, tenderness, redness, limited range of motion of the affected area, and impaired function of the affected area.
There are some common types of overuse injuries that are often seen by doctors, which include the following:
- Sprains or strains – Sprains affect the body’s ligaments, which connect bones to joints, by overstretching or tearing them. Strains affect the body’s tendons, which connect muscles to bones, by overstretching and tearing them.
- Stress fractures – This type of fracture occurs due to overuse and causes the bones in a certain part of the body to form cracks and weaken. These are very commonly seen in sports.
- Epicondylitis – This occurs when the tissue connecting the forearm muscle to the elbow becomes inflamed and irritated.
- Tendonitis – Tendonitis is when a tendon becomes inflamed and swells. It can be seen in the wrist, elbow, thighs, and more.
- Torn meniscus – This is a knee injury, often seen in basketball players, where its tissue gets torn and causes intense pain.
- Herniated discs – The intervertebral discs in your spinal cord are made of tough cartilage on the outside and soft, gel-like cartilage on the inside. This injury occurs when the soft, inner cartilage protrudes out of the tough cartilage, causing pain from the pressure on the surrounding nerves.
