Torn?  Ooohh...probably not... i'd say stick with a doctor for something that serious...he/she can tell you what you should do to speed up recovery.

Sore muscles are caused by lactic acid, which builds up in your muscles naturally, and causes the burn you often feel when lifting weights or are exhausted from a soccer match. When you warm up your muscles, the increased blood flow can remove some of the lactic acid, and make your muscles feel better. To further get rid of lactic acid, try stretching, eating bananas, or drinking tonic water (gin optional). \n(the quinine in tonic water breaks down lactic acid)

Try adding fresh or dry ginger and honey into your daily diet. You could even try out the tea you could make using about half a tsp of dry ginger powder and a tablespoon of honey - just add boiling water and stir. Also keep yourself warm and use warm massage oils like sesame, bitter almond or olive oil on the joints. You could also use some late morning sun or sauna after an oil massage - always keeping in mind to avoid winds or sudden drops of temperature. Finally, prayers always help for everything. A prayer coming your way from this end... Get well sooon!

Drink PLENTY of water.  Warm up before and stretch after.  It takes a while to get over a pulled muscle.  I pulled a quad one fall, would think it's OK and then re-aggravate it every time I'd start to run.

R.I.C.E.\nRest: relative rest, avoid lifting any moderate to heavy weights with that arm\nIce: ice the Bicep for 15 minutes every hour\nCompression: wrap an ace wrap around the arm to control swelling\nElevation: elevate the arm above the heart level to control swelling\n\nSee your physician if it is a large tear.  You will need to rest and not play sports for a few weeks to allow it to heal.

Please go and see a physio they will firstly listen to the cause of injury then massage area with a clear gell substance and a heated wand this is very relaxing and loosens those torn and inflamed muscles and tendons this goes on for about 20 - 30 minutes then they will gently click your spine back inplace.\n\nYou will feel like your back to normal when you walk out of the physio but you will have to take it easy and go back for the very same treatment, it is comfortable, relaxation, and painfree and there is no risk they are professionals and will tell what to do and what not to do.  All the very Best.\n\nSome physio's bulk-bill others you have to pay but can get some money back from medicare, or personal health care agent and health care card.

Having had back surgery, and seeing countless doctors on back pain and hearing their answers I would do what my doctors advised me to do.\n\nGet two towels very damp. Put one in the freezer and put one in the microwave.\n\nFirst, I would take a hot, hot shower as hot as you can stand it for no more than 15 minutes or as long as the hot waters holds out.\n\nThen take out the towel out of the freezer and put it one the area that is tight. Keep it on for 15 minutes.\n\nDo nothing for 15 minutes and then alternate a hot towel from the microwave and then the cold towel out of the freezer and do this every hour that you can until the spot works itself out.\n\nAlso it sounds like you have some inflammation in your muscles and you can get some over the counter meds for that like ibuprofen.  I would take some ibuprofen for a few days to help with the inflammation.\n\nIf this does not help you may need to get your workspace more ergonomically safe. Monitors should be at eye level and keyboard in a place that does not put a strain on you.\n\nIf none of this starts having a positive effect you may want to see a physical therapist. They have special infrared massagers that can help and help you work out some of the kinks.\n\nGood Luck.

You need to drink lots of water. If you are that sore, then you must be sweating it out by the buckets! Also, plain water is not the best. Drink something that balances your electrolyets, like Gatorade or some similar product. If you don't want to go broke buying Gatorade, make your own. Just mix Kool-Aid or whatever brand you prefer (non-sweetened) with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp salt. This replaces what your body loses during the workout. I would recommend drinking 1 liter of water for every hour you are working out, and following up with one liter of Gatorade and continued water until bed. Also, keep water by your bedside and drink it regularly when you wake up at night (to turn over or to get up and go to the bathroom). Doing these things will prevent your body from getting too dehydrated from the work out and will rebalance your electrolytes. Also, do not strenuously work out the same muscle groups 2 days in a row. This does more harm than good as the muscle does not have time to repair and grow between workouts. DO however stretch the muscles thoroughly and make sure that you do not "nurse" them the next day. Stretching a couple times throught the day, combined with your normal activity, will help to release the lactic acid from the muscles as quickly as possible. The less you drink and the more you "nurse" the muscle, the longer you will be sore. Finally, eat banans and raisins as your snacks. These are high potassium fruits and will help to prevent muscle cramps, especially at night. I learned all these things the hard way when I began working out. I hope what I have learned helps you!

RICE -- Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Really, the only way to heal a sprain (which is a stretch or a tear of a ligament), or a strain (which is a pulled muscle) is to rest. Continuing to exercise will only irritate the affected area more, and lengthen the healing time. \n\nSprains can be very serious injuries, resulting in a complete tear of the ligament. If you continue to have trouble walking or moving the joint, or the swelling has not gone down, see a doctor. \n\nYou can also take over the counter anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs - Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) to help reduce swelling and control pain. Common ones include ibuprofen and Aleve. \n\nYou can help to avoid sprains and strains by stretching thoroughly before and after exercise, and being aware of your body and its limitations.

There are various home remedies out there, however finding the best will be hard so talk to a nutritionist.\nhttp://www.natural-alternative-solutions.com/site/525077/page/145229#results\nhttp://www.easternhealingcenter.com/En/hormonal_imbalance.htm\nhttp://majidali.com/hormonal.htm

You soak in a tub of warm water and epsom salt.  It is supposed to help sprains and sore muscles, but it does nothing for me.  I think they just say that to sell salt.\n\nIt helped my wife to soak in it when they cut down there a little when you have a baby, so that it doesn't tear.  It helped her heal.

*  Apply ice to the injury for 15 to 20 minutes each hour for the first 1 to 2 days. Put the ice in a plastic bag and place a towel between the bag of ice and your skin.\n    * After the first 1 to 2 days, you may put heat on the injury to help ease the pain. Use a heating pad (set on low), a whirlpool bath, or warm, moist towels for 15 to 20 minutes every hour for 48 hours.\n    * Do not use the pulled muscle for 2 to 3 days, or while you still have pain.\n    * Your doctor may suggest you wrap the injured area with an elastic (ace) bandage for a few days. Be careful not to wrap it too tightly because it may make the area numb or tingly. Loosen the wrap if you get these symptoms.\n    * If you need an air splint, your doctor can show you how to make it fit right. Wear the splint until the doctor says you may take it off.\n    * You can take off an air splint or ace wrap when showering or bathing.\n    * You may use over-the-counter medicines for pain. Always take medications exactly as directed.\n    * If you are given a tetanus shot, your arm may get swollen, red, and warm to the touch at the site of the shot. This is a normal reaction to the medicine. And yes, some pulled muscles require a shot, depending on how severe.\n\nCall Your Doctor If...\n\n    * The pain or swelling gets worse.

Yes, the obvious solution is to see a doctor. I trust my doctor much more than I do these people on here. Most have little or no medical training.  I hope you recover soon and with as little pain as possible.\n\nTerry

I know it may be difficult to do this, but you must keep the muscle as relaxed and non-stressed as long as possible within the next few days.  You should see a doctor that specializes in sports medicine or a physical therapist.  Icing it is the best thing you can do.  I am a Certified Massage Therapist as well as a Certified Medical Technician in an Orthopedist office we use whats called ultra sound with gel and electrical stimulation and believe me they work miracles.  Chiropractors use this same method, call around to all the Chiropractors until you find one that uses these two methods the treatments are real cheap if you don't have insurance and they work.  Good Luck

Rest and moist heat is the recommended treatment. A towel soaked in water as hot as you can stand without burning will do. Also, a support brace or athletic tape will help when you are mobile. However, the activity that caused the problem, or any activity that puts undue strain on the injury should be avoided until the pain is relieved. Tylenol, Advil or Aspirin can be used to reduce the swelling and control the pain. Aspirin is good because it thins the blood increasing blood flow to the area. DO NOT take Aspirin if you are allergic to it. Only take what you really need for pain and swelling and do not exceed the daily dosage of whatever medication you choose. Also, IcyHot, BenGay, Mineral Ice are good to rub on it, but do not bandage tightly while using them. Medicated patches are also available.  Hope this has helped some. I had the same problem in my elbow for years. That's how I know.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry

Depends on why they are sore.\n\nYou can work through the IDOMS (Induced Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness or Syndrome... one of the two) that you get about a day after you've exercise a new muscle group. Take it easy though so you don't tear anything. Jogging is a good way to get rid of these (get some blood going through em!)
