Muscle Strains
A pulled muscle or muscle strain happens when your muscle is torn or overstretched. This often occurs due to many reasons such as overuse, fatigue, or improper muscle use. Strains could occur in any muscles, but they are most common in your leg, hamstring, shoulder, neck and lower back. This condition could lead to pain and might limit movements in the affected groups of muscles. Moderate to mild strains could be treated successfully at home with heat, ice, and some anti-inflammatory drugs. Severe tears or strains might require medical treatments. [3]
