Thigh Muscle Strains Treatment | Illinois Bone & Joint Institute

Muscle strains (muscle pull or tear) usually happen when a muscle is stretched beyond its limit, and the muscle tissue becomes torn during an activity such as sprinting or kicking a ball. They frequently occur near the point where the muscle joins the tough, fibrous connective tissue of the tendon. A similar injury occurs if there is a direct blow to the muscle. Muscle strains in the thigh can be quite painful.

Thigh Muscle Strain Signs & Symptoms

There are some common symptoms of a muscle strain including:

Popping or snapping sensation as the muscle tears.

Sudden and severe pain.

Injured area may be tender to the touch, with visible bruising if blood vessels are also broken.

Treatment

Most muscle strains can be treated with the RICE protocol. RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. This should help to limit bleeding and swelling in the tissues. After the early days have been spent resting more active rehabilitation can be started.
