10 Symptoms of Pulled Muscles
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Muscle Weakness
Muscle weakness often occurs to those who have had a muscle injury. The severity of muscle weakness will depend, of course, from the severity of the muscle injury.
Grade I muscle strains, which are otherwise known as mild muscle strains, are usually not accompanied by muscle weakness as only a few muscle fibers are stretched or torn. Grade II muscle strain is a moderate strain where more muscle fibers are affected. Certain muscle weakness is possible based on the severity of the injury in this case. Grade III muscle strains are a complete tear of the affected muscle, which, besides other signs and symptoms, is accompanied by inability of the muscle to work.
