Hi, mature, masculine guy looking for friends -online or real world! I am just over 6 foot, 95Kg, muscular and fit; I enjoy music, clubs, European cinema, the gym, good food and chatting with my mates.

philc777Mon 25/02/08 12:07		Hi, guys (m and f), anyone got a view on how long it usually takes a pulled muscle to sort itself out? I have had a pain in my back which I still think is a pulled muscle, but it has been a week now that I have had it. It is not as bad as it was but it has not gone away. Any views?
jekyll101Mon 25/02/08 12:11		Depends on which muscle it is, how badly you have pulled it, if you are resting it etc...
philc777Mon 25/02/08 12:17		It is in my back, so I ahve been careful, did no gym for 5 days and only did arms carefully yesterday.. It is hard to rest it though, as almost any movement involves some control of the upper body...

kesterMon 25/02/08 12:47		Just a suggestion, from personal experience - I had severe muscle pain in my upper back. I couldn't work it why, and nothing that I did improved it. Then I happened to feel my neck one day, and discovered that a muscle on the opposite side of my neck from where the back pain was, had turned into a thick trunk of knotted muscle. I massaged it for about 15 minutes, and the pain subsided. I then massaged it regularly throughout the day to stop it seizing up again. By the next day, the pain in my back had gone.
