There are certain pulled back muscle symptoms that are common to all muscular back injuries. Muscle and ligament injuries are not usually serious, but can be extremely painful. The horrible pain might make the patient think that there is serious damage in their back or spine. Remember that muscle pain will not leave permanent damage, as long as it is rehabilitated correctly.
Symptoms of a Pulled Back Muscle
* Pain. The actual site of the injury will hurt. It is also common for the pain to radiate out from a central point into surrounding muscle tissue. The pain might be sharp, burning, dull, aching, blinding, or a combination. The pain might be constant or related to an activity or movement. Doctors always hear, “It hurts when I……..”* Stiffness or tightness. The affected muscle or ligament might feel stiff and resistant to movement. There may be a “pulling” feeling in the muscle. It might feel shorter than usual, as if it can’t stretch to it’s normal potential.
* Muscle Spasm. Muscles that are newly injured might go into spasm. This is when the muscle contracts violently and uncontrollably. This spasm can last seconds, minutes, or hours. Sometimes, it might last for days…Muscle spasms are terrifically painful.
* Heat in the muscle. Affected area might feel hot to the touch.
