Muscle pull. What to do?

Hello there muscle pull is a very common occourance during workout.... initial 72 hrs after the injury are important so as to minimise the damage.... also weather it is a purely muscular or tendo-muscular injury the prognosis will depend on that..... for the timebeing.... what you need to do is...... 1)Stop gymming for a week. 2)cold pack application over the area atleast 5-7 times a day to minimise swelling. 3)since you have mentioned that pain suppressing medicationas are not beneficial hence you can opt for any pain suppresing spray which includes diclofinac and menthol..... 4)even after 3 days if you dont feel decrease in symptoms then you should get yourself checked at any walk in Physio/ortho OPD. Hope this benefits you...do resort back to me if you have any queries.
