Muscle Spasm /Pulled /Strained /Torn /Fibromyalgia   
Injuries to muscles can be as painful as nerve pain. So they sometimes get wrongly diagnosed. This can delay healing or result in ineffective healing. Damage to a muscle may indicate damage to other deeper tissues, like ligaments, nerves, joints etc. When a muscle gets damaged it swells up and becomes hotter. It becomes tender and painful to move. These are the cardinal signs of inflammation. As the swelling increases it can cause pressure on local nerves too. The inflammatory fluid can also cause chemical irritation to the surrounding tissues, producing even more pain. So never ignore a muscle pain if it lasts more than 2 days. There may be more going on than you think.
