Detailed explanation-1: -Rest the strained muscle and apply ice for the first few days after the injury. Anti-inflammatory medicines or acetaminophen (Tylenol) also help reduce pain and swelling. As the pain decreases, you can use heat on the muscle. Stretching and light exercises to bring blood to the injured area can also be useful.
Detailed explanation-2: -A severe muscle strain is when the muscle is severely torn. This results in pain and very limited movement. The symptoms of mild to moderate muscle strains usually go away within a few weeks. More severe strains may take months to heal.
Detailed explanation-3: -A strain may be caused by: Too much physical activity or effort. Improperly warming up before a physical activity. Poor flexibility.
Detailed explanation-4: -Grade 1: Mild damage to individual muscle fibers (less than 5% of fibers) that causes minimal loss of strength and motion. Grade 2: More extensive damage with more muscle fibers involved. Grade 3: Complete rupture of a muscle or tendon. 19-Nov-2019
