Rest the muscle. Stop activity that causes difficulty when there is withdrawal in an muscle. Muscle withdrawal is a rupture of muscle fibers, and more strain may cause the rupture to grow and cause serious injury. [1]
Act according to the pain you feel. Muscle withdrawal occurs when running or in a sports activity and if you need to stop and breathe because of severe pain, the best thing to do is sit for the rest of the game.
Take a few days to stop the withdrawal before continuing the muscle-pulling activity.

Apply ice to the crate. Applying ice to the area reduces swelling and helps alleviate pain. Fill ice cubes into a large refrigerator bag. Wrap the bag in a thin towel to prevent skin damage from direct ice contact. Keep the ice pack in the pain area for 20 minutes at a time and apply it 4 to 8 times a day until the swelling is reduced. [2]
A sachet of frozen peas or another vegetable can also be used as an ice bag.
Avoid applying heat; because this does not reduce the inflammation caused by muscle withdrawal.
3
Apply compressions to the area. Covering the area of muscle withdrawal can reduce inflammation and help prevent worsening of the injury. Use an elastic bandage to loosely wrap your arm or leg.
Very tight winding; this may interfere with blood circulation. [3]
If you don't have an elastic bandage, cut an old pillow case into a long strip and use it to compress the area.
4
Lift the muscle up. Lifting the inflamed area can help lower the swelling and rest the muscle as necessary for healing.
If there is a retraction of a muscle on your leg, rest your leg on a cedar or chair while sitting.
If the muscle pull is in a muscle on your arm, you can lift your arm with an arm sling.
5
Take a painkiller. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin or ibuprofen, relieve pain and help you move more comfortably with muscle withdrawal. Make sure you don't take more than the recommended dose and never give aspirin to children.

Knowing When to Get Medical Treatment
one
Watch your pain. Resting the muscles and using ice bags should take several days to pull the muscle. If you feel severe pain, go to a doctor. You may have suffered serious injury that may require medical attention.
If the doctor decides that you need to pay more attention to your injury, he may give you a pair of crutches or an arm sling to rest the muscle that is withdrawing. Strong painkillers can also be written.
Muscle withdrawal rarely requires physical therapy or surgery.
2nd
If you see any other symptoms, see a doctor. Muscle pain is sometimes caused by something other than excessive coercion. [4] You may think that muscle withdrawal occurs during physical activity, but if you have these symptoms, go to the doctor:
bruising.
Swelling.
Symptoms of infection such as itching and flushing, blistering of the skin.
Painful bite marks in the area.
Slower blood circulation or numbness in the area where muscle pain is felt.
3
Get medical attention immediately if symptoms are severe. [5] If you are experiencing any of these severe symptoms besides muscle pain go to an emergency to find out what is happening:
There is excessive loss of strength in the muscles.
You may have shortness of breath or dizziness.
Your neck is involved and your fever is elevated.

Preventing Muscle Withdrawal
one
Ray. Muscle withdrawal occurs when the muscles are overloaded, which usually occurs when they force themselves without overheating properly. Take time to stretch and warm up your muscles before you engage in any physical activity.
If you like to run, run slowly before you outrun or run fast.
If you are doing a team sport, you can go for a run before the game, play catch or do light gymnastics.
Use a foam roller to stretch your leg, back and shoulder muscles. This can help you warm up your body better.
2nd
Prevent thirst by drinking at least 8 to 11 glasses of water per day. Staying dehydrated increases the risk of strain on the muscles. Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day, including training. Don't wait for thirst to drink water; because when you feel thirsty, you become dehydrated. [6]
If you exercise too much, make sure you drink more water. You can also drink sports drinks; because the decrease in electrolytes also increases the risk of muscle withdrawal.
3
Power training. Adding weight lifting and other strength training to the exercise plan reduces the risk of muscle withdrawal during an activity. Use free weights at home or work out in the gym to have a firm, strong stomach and keep your muscles flexible.
4
Know when to stop. It is easy to engage in physical activity and force yourself to continue, even if the pain in your leg or arm indicates that you need to stop. Don't forget that pushing more of a muscle with withdrawal will only make things worse. If a deep rupture occurs in your muscle, you may not be able to go to any game all season, not just one game.
Tips
After the swelling has subsided, apply warm compresses to warm the muscles before exercising.
Take a warm shower to relax the muscles.
To relieve the pain, glue the area around the muscle.
Get deep tissue massage to reduce muscle spasms; but don't get it done 48 hours after the injury.
Make sure there are no more severe injuries, such as bicep rupture, and see a doctor if the pain from the injury you think is muscular retention is prolonged.
