Symptoms of Sports Injuries

If you or a loved one has suffered a sports injury, watch out for these symptoms:

  • Headache, nausea, slurred speech, fatigue and mental fogginess are all signs of a concussion. People who have suffered impacts to the head should vigilantly watch for these symptoms for several days after the injury was sustained.
  • Localized joint swelling and inflammation are frequently present after sprains and contusions.
  • Experiencing pain while participating in a specific sport or motion, but not while resting, might be indicative of tendonitis.
  • Tingling or sharp pains in your wrist and fingers, or grip weakness, could be signs of an injury in the complex structure of bones, nerves, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues in your wrists, hands or elbows.
  • Having a reduced range of motion is frequently a symptom of a sprain or ligament damage, especially when a limb suddenly has difficulty bearing weight or feels unstable.
  • Some popping or clicking of joints is common and doesn’t necessarily indicate an injury, but especially audible pops or popping sensations are frequently signs of ACL injuries, Achilles tendon ruptures or meniscus tears.
