What would you suggest for a completely dehydrated muscle?

[babyandme]

When a muscle becomes the consistency of beef jerky, and is completely dehydrated, what would you suggest to that person?

Also, what do you suggest in the case of a muscle knot that is hard as a bone?

Thanks.

Are you saying you have *one* muscle that is feeling dried up like beef jerky?

I would suggest seeing a medical doctor, ASAP.

um... what Rose said.

I hope that's possible for you to do.

I agree with what everyone else has said so far...get to a dr. ASAP!!!

My mom has muscles that feel like that and she has a list of things wrong with her.

I agree about seeing a Dr. to diagnose as well. Most of my clients have already been diagnosed (by the chiro or a physician) due to trauma, repetitive strain, etc.

Most of my clients are there as a result of auto accidents, some are referred by physicians. (I work in a chiro office) When I first see someone with whiplash sometimes some of the deep neck muscles are splinted and feel like beef jerky. I use hydroculator packs on them before & after deep work. I have found castor oil packs help too.
