Muscle Strain:

A muscle strain ,or pulled muscle ,occurs when your muscle is overstretched or torn. this usually occurs as a result of fatigue, overuse, or improper use of a muscle. strains can happen in any muscle but they are most common in your lower back neck, shoulder, and hamstring, which is the muscle behind your thigh.

Symptoms of muscle strain

You will usually feel a muscle strain as it occurs. symptoms include:

• Sudden onset of pain
• Soreness
• Limited range of movement
• Bruising or Discoloration
• Swelling
• A knotted up feeling
• Muscle spasms
• Stiffness
• Weakness

In a mild strain a torn muscle may fell slightly stiff but still flexible enough for use. a severe muscle strain is when the muscle is severely torn. this result in pain and very limited movement.

The symptoms of mild to moderate muscle strains usually go away within a few weeks. more severe strain may take months to heal.

Causes of muscle strains

An acute muscle strain is when your muscle tears suddenly and unexpectedly. such tears can occurs either from injuries or trauma. this can be due to:

• not warming up properly before physical activity
• poor flexibility 
• poor conditioning
• overexertion and fatigue 

There's a misconception that only rigorous exercises and workouts of high intensity cause muscle strain. according to johns hopkins medicine, muscle strains can even occur from walking.

An acute strain can happen when you:

• Slip or lose your footing
• Jump
• Run
• Throw something
• lift something heavy
• Lift something while in you are in an awkward position

Chronic muscle strains are the result of repetitive movement. this can be due to:

 

• Sports like rowing, tennis, golf, or baseball
• Holding your back or neck in an awkward position for the log periods of time, such as when you work at a desk
• Poor posture

When to see a doctor

 For mild to moderate strains , home treatment should be enough. seek medical attention if any of the following happens.

• The pain doesn't subside after a week
• The injured area is numb
• There's blood coming from your injury
• You can't walk
• You can't move your arms or legs
