Is a muscle strain the same as a torn muscle? |
and what is the difference? A strained muscle is pulled to the limit of almost tearing while the torn muscle was taken past the strain limit to the tear phase and is a lot longer in the fixing sometimes requiring surgery and months of rehabilitation. You can compare it to the difference between a cracked bone and one that is broken if that helps you more visually. A strained muscle will allow you to use it without pain after a few days while the torn one usually burns and will swell slightly and feel feverish. It does not feel any better after a few days but will feel worse if you continued to attempt to use it. At that point, you will need to see a doctor to see the extent of the damage. a strain is a twist, pull or tear of a muscle. No. A strain is a stretched muscle. A torn muscle is just like it sounds. Torn No, a muscle strain is usually related to overworking your muscle and you have to go to the chriopractor, it depends on your age too. If your 25 the pain will go away soon, if your 45 the pain will last for a month and your chrio will love you. A torn muscle will just flat hurt to the extreme and you may need to have surgery if bad enough. Mark |
