Can you tell me what do i do for a pulled flexor muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How bad?: For most pulled muscles, rest is the answer. Heat or ice (on for 30 minutes, off for an hour) can help, too. Ibuprofen and/or tylenol (acetaminophen) can help with the pain, too. See your doc about 7 days after injury to see if physical therapy is a good idea. Also, if pain is severe, you have numbness, tingling, weakness, loss of movement), severe swelling, get seen right away.
