How do you know if you have pulled a muscle?

Answer 1

You know because it hurts lol

It will feel sore. If it is swollen that means it is broken but if you think it isn't broken or pulled then go to a doctor and get an x-ray because you might have chipped a bone!

Answer 2

There is not really a way to tell for sure on your own, but the best thing you could do if you're not sure you can give it a rest for a few days. Just don't try to exercise it or put lots of pressure on it. If you don't feel a relief you should see a specialized doctor.

Answer 3

If your muscle hurts and it is sore with a sharp pain.
