Muscle Strain

Muscle Strain

A strain can happen in any muscle or tendon and can cause pain. It may also limit movement in the affected muscle group. A muscle strain usually occurs when undue pressure is put on muscles in our daily activities.

Minor injuries can only over-stretch the muscle or its tendon whereas severe injuries can lead to a partial or complete tear of the tendon.

Symptoms

The common signs and symptoms depend on the severity of a muscle strain which is as follows:

  • Sudden pain or tenderness.
  • Soreness.
  • Pain when the specific muscle is in use.
  • Inability to use the muscle, limited motion.
  • Muscle spasms or cramps.
  • Swelling, bruising, or redness.
  • Pain even at rest.
  • A ‘knotted-up’ feeling.
  • Muscle weakness.

Causes

An acute strain can occur when your muscle tears suddenly which can happen while jumping, running, slipping, or lifting something heavy. An acute strain may occur as a result of:

  • Poor flexibility.
  • Over-exertion.
  • Fatigue.
  • Poor conditioning.
  • Not warming up before any physical activity.
