What occurs when muscles are overworked or overstretched what is it?

Tear would occur in the muscle, and fluid would often build up and cause the muscle to swell. The best thing to do for treatment is to either get some ice and elevate the posture of your pulled muscle, keep the ice on it up to 24 hours or just elevate it and rest it at, home it will soon go away. It usually lasts up to 2-3 weeks. Movement is restricted because of the pain, so don't try to move it or it will probably strain a lot more if if you take a wrong move.
