10 Muscle Strain Symptoms

Symptom #2: Bruising
Our muscles are interlaced with blood vessels that help to supply them with what they need. This means oxygen and nutrients that provide the building blocks and the energy that we need to move. This also means that should you suffer an injury to your muscles, you can damage blood vessels as well.
When you damage blood vessels within muscles, it is likely to lead to blood escaping. Because these vessels are still beneath the skin, the blood will remain beneath the skin rather than leaking out of the body. This will result in dark patches where the blood is visible and we commonly know this phenomenon as bruising.
