Muscle injury can occur when the muscle is injured or stretched or torn. It often occurs due to fatigue, overuse, or improper use of muscles. It can occur in any muscle, but it often occurs in the muscles of the lower back, neck, shoulder, and muscles on the thigh. The symptoms are pain, swelling, muscle spasm, and restricted movement of muscles. It is treated by taking pain-relieving medications, and icing the area helps to provide relief.
