A member asked:
How long can muscle strain last when its on the right side of my abdomen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A muscle strain is similar to a sprain. It's caused when the muscle is over used and the muscle fibers and ligaments get pulled or have small tears. The best treatment is ice, gentle stretching and, if needed, an anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen. It often lasts a few week - 2-6weeks is not uncommon.
