How can i cure a pulled muscle quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NSAIDS, ice, walk: Low intensity cycling or walking, then gentle stretching exercises. Ice for about 45 minutes 3-4 times per day, will address inflammation and swelling, never apply ice to the skin, always over a towel or clothing. Pain can be relieved with over-the-counter medications like advil or aleve (naproxen). Follow directions on label.
