Wait and see: The only way you know you have a pulled muscle is that the condition improves within 2 weeks.

Tenderness: Signs of a pulled muscle include focal bruising, pain and swelling. If the muscle is tender and it hurts to contract it you probably have a muscle strain.

Symptoms: did you injure the muscle in question is the first issue. is it painful at the level of a muscle? a "pulled muscle" should get better in a matter of a few weeks. if not, get checked out
