Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back
Muscle strains are graded I, II, or III depending on the severity of the injury.
In grade I muscle strain, the muscle is overstretched. Small tears to muscle fibers may or may not occur. Grade I strain is also called mild muscle strain.
Grade II Muscle Strain also called moderate muscle strain, grade II strain occurs when the muscle is overstretched with more of the fibers torn but not complete. Symptoms may include marked pain with swelling. The area of injury is tender. Bruising may occur if small blood vessels at the site of injury are damaged as well. Movement may be difficult because of pain.
Grade III strain, or severe muscle strain, is the most serious among the three grades of muscle strains. Most of the muscle fibers are torn. In some cases, the muscle is completely torn or ruptured. Pain, swelling, tenderness, and bruising are usually present. Movement is usually difficult.
You are having grade II strain. Treatment of it is rest to muscles and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C helpful in recovery.
You can discuss with your doctor about it.
