Frequent Muscle Strains After Exercise. Need A Cure. History Of Typhoid
Hello Doctors,
I am having a problem now a days. From last few weeks, whenever I sprint while exercising or when I try some different exercise which I normally dont do(a single handed pull up), I end up pulling or tearing my muscles.
I have got 4 muscle pulls/tears in last 5 weeks(left leg hamstring, right leg hamstring, right shoulder injury and yesterday an injury on the opposite side of right hamstring)
Medical history - I had suffered a 5 day Typhoid last month. when I used to hold my muscles and leave it used to give me a pinching effect.
Question - Is this muscle problem an effect of the Typhoid I suffered? (The first injury ie. the left leg hamstring happened a week before being diagnosed as Typhoid.)

Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
Although typhoid infection can directly affect the muscles as like the other fever but it also lead to inflammation of muscles which can present as frequent muscle strains.You should avoid doing hard exercises.This can be also due to weakness after typhoid.Built strength in muscles before going for strengthening exercises.
Take protein supplements & multivitamin preparation.
Do no weight bearing exercises.
Hope this all will help you.
