Muscle stiffness and tightness from an accident can severely impact your ability to work and perform everyday activities, causing ongoing pain and discomfort. Injuries to the muscles not only affect your physical well-being but can also result in long periods of missed work, leading to financial and personal stress.

If you’re dealing with muscle stiffness or injury following an accident, Moore Faust Injury Law Group is here to help you seek the compensation you deserve for your pain and suffering.

What Causes a Muscle Injury?

A muscle injury occurs when muscle fibers tear, which can damage blood vessels, causing pain from irritation of nerve endings and resulting in bruising. In some cases, the tendons attached to the muscles may also be affected.

Muscle injuries can happen suddenly due to an accident or impact, such as:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• Workplace accidents

Additionally, repetitive motions or prolonged strain, particularly in the workplace, can lead to muscle stiffness and tightness over time. In fact, muscle pain is one of the most common work-related injuries.

Symptoms of Muscle Injury

While pain is a primary symptom, muscle injuries often present with other noticeable signs, including:

• Pain when using the injured muscle or joint
• Swelling, bruising, or redness in the affected area
• Weakness in the muscle or tendons
• Inability to use the muscle due to injury
• A distinct “popping” sound at the time of injury
• Fever (in some cases)

In serious accidents, muscle injuries may be accompanied by fractures, organ damage, or nerve injuries, so it’s important to get a thorough evaluation.

How Muscle Injuries Are Diagnosed and Treated

Diagnosing a muscle injury usually involves a physical exam. While X-rays and other imaging tests may not be necessary for muscle damage, they are often used to detect accompanying bone or nerve injuries.

Treatment for muscle injuries can vary, depending on the severity of the damage, and may include rest, physical therapy, medication, or in some cases, surgery.
