Fluid accumulation due to muscle injury refers to abnormal exudation within the muscle tissue. Intramuscular fluid accumulation primarily results from microvascular rupture caused by muscle damage. Muscle exudate typically manifests as swelling and significant pain. Therefore, the most important treatment is complete rest, avoiding household activities that may exacerbate limb soreness, along with active anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-swelling therapies.
