As long as it's not torn, the only quick way to heal it is to treat it like it were in a sling. That being said, a simple sling would really help :)

If you did pull it, you were probably trying to much too fast.

I used to be in really good shape, and I Myself started working out again recently. For someone who could one time bench over 260, it's very humbling to me to go and start with 95 and work my way up to 145, but that's the way it is. I don't want to get hurt......

Muscle pulls can be helped by alternating heat/cold and very very very light stretching of the muscle.

ANd yes, if it was torn, you'd know immediately. It would hurt like hell.

And DOH!
Forgot to tell you to Warm and Cool it. But definitely keep it immobile to help get the quickest heal time

Yep....you'd know right away if you tore a muscle.

I tore some fibers in my left quad... "Gad damn!" Hurt like a mofo for a week or two.

And it never healed right...it healed with the muscle all buched up in upper thigh...lucky it wasn't a large strand so it is not that big a deal.

I killed it playing basketball in college...I went and threw down a dunk off a fast break and when a came down onto my left leg..."riiiipppp!" Needless to say I fell to ground cursing up a storm. Didn't play on it for a month.
