Yes: A 'pull' refers to a tear in the muscle or its covering (fascia). This can result in a collection of blood to appear under the skin. As one is usually upright, the bruise tends to migrate diwnward.

Muscle snapped: Maybe a plantaris. If you are still limping after 3 weeks see your dr. Otherwise forget it.
