a pulled muscle is much more serious than a strained muscle. when you pull a muscle you have the potential to tear either the muscle itself or a ligament that has stretched with it. if this happens you can tear it and when it heals it produces scar tissue (when it heals it can take from a few weeks to a few months to heal, this also depends on how serious the injury is). scar tissue does not go away that is why it is extremely important to stretch it out. these are all posibilities of a pulled muscle.
straining a muscle is nothing compared to a pulled muscle. when you strain a muscle it is similar to a pull but it does not stretch as far or cause as much or enough damage to keep you chair- bound. strain is similar to sprain. when you pull a muscle and you try and do activities it hurts like hell and can make it worse which is what it does most of the time. a strain dissapears in a couple of days and doesnt leave permanent damage.

What is the difference between a muscle cramp and muscle strain?

Understanding the difference between a cramp and a pulled muscle can help you to treat the injury more effectively and get you back to peak performance.What is a Cramp?A cramp in a muscle is caused by an involuntary spasm or contraction. It is usually sudden, can cause significant pain and can limit the use of the muscle for a short period of time.A cramp will present as a knot or hard spot in the muscle.Cramp CausesCramps are usually caused by problems such as overworking a muscle, poor hydration, electrolyte imbalances, insufficient blood flow to the muscle or nerve compression.Cramp TreatmentWhile cramps are painful, they are usually temporary and are easy to treat at home. Stretching the muscle, staying hydrated and resting the muscle will generally resolve the problem quickly.What is a Pulled Muscle/Muscle strain?A pulled muscle is actually a tear in the muscle tissue. This occurs when the muscle is strained to the point where the muscle is damaged. The more significant the strain, the more the muscle can be torn.Pulled Muscle CausesPulled muscles are usually the result of not preparing the muscle for work through proper stretching, placing too much tension on the muscle or over-using the muscle. Soreness in the affected muscle is usually the first symptom. Using the muscle will be painful and difficult. In severe pulls, bruising may be present. The affected muscle will become very tender to the touch and some swelling may occur.Pulled Muscle TreatmentBecause the muscle tissue is actually damaged, it takes considerably longer for a pulled muscle to heal, often taking from four to six weeks for full recovery. Treat a pulled muscle with rest, a cold pack to reduce swelling within the first half hour of the injury occurring, and heat after that time to stimulate circulation. Anti-inflammatory medications can also help. As the healing process progresses, careful stretching and strengthening of the muscle can be helpful. In some severe cases, surgical repair may be necessary
Where exactly is a pulled groin muscle?
A pulled "groin" is actually a strained muscle in the upper thigh. Strained muscles occur when the fibers of the muscle are stretched too far. The result is a group of torn fibers, or in horrible cases, the entire muscle may tear. Usually however, it is just a small tear. If you feel that your muscle has ripped entirely, and you are in a lot of pain, PLEASE GO SEE A DOCTOR! You probably need surgery to correct this problem. If it is a minor strain, and you are not in agony, a doctor will not be able to do much for you. REST is the key! If you pulled your groin within 48hrs ago, you should be icing it as much as comfortable. After that point, gentle heat applied to the affected area before any physical activity is recommended, as this will help loosen the torn muscle. I am not a doctor, I'm just a kid, none of this should be taken as scientific fact.
