About Trauma

A "Trauma" is an impact injury that occurs and you know it
immediately. Usually there is bruising, obvious swelling,
deformity or blood.  Having pain because you did something
funny working out two days ago is not a Trauma in this
definition.  If you have to think about what it is you might have
done, chances are that it was one of the other three things on
this checklist that occurred first, then some other activity
(bending, twisting, lifting, jumping, running, etc.) made you
notice.
