How should a pulled arm muscle be recovered?

After a muscle injury in the arm, it is important to get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activities. You should go to the hospital for an X-ray to determine whether there is any damage to nerves or bones. If necessary, oral anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and blood circulation-improving medications may be taken. Acupuncture can also be used as a treatment. For mild strains, appropriate rest is usually sufficient; however, severe muscle tears may require surgical intervention.
