    A muscle strain is a stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon that connects muscle to bone. It is very common, affecting over 10 million people per year in India alone. Symptoms include pain, swelling, muscle spasms and limited movement of the affected muscle. Treatment usually involves self-care measures like rest, ice, compression and over-the-counter pain relievers. While muscle strains are usually self-diagnosable and self-treatable, consulting a doctor is recommended if symptoms persist or worsen.
