A member asked:
How does a muscle strain feel compared to a torn muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretching: A muscle strain is an excessive stretching of the muscle fibers. A partial tearing of muscle fibers might be difficult to differentiate from a strain, where as a complete tear would result in a probable impairment of function. The tear might be felt.
