Do muscles tear?

Answer by  gmun (603)

In ordinary exercise muscles get stronger by being "damaged" and then repairing that damage. When an injury happens, the damage is far greater but the muscle is still capable of repairing itself in most circumstances if it is rested and not damaged further.

Yes, muscles do tear. A muscle tear is when a large number of muscle fibers are torn. Muscle tears cause severe pain and swelling. Severe bleeding may result in the formation of a blood clot. Surgery maybe necessary to repair a muscle tear. If not serious, muscle tears can repair themselves.
