Have you taken Cipro, levoquine or another similar type antibiotic in the past?
"pulled muscle" is kind of vague.
Most of the time a "pulled" muscle may refer too a tear in the tendon either at
1. the junction of tendon to bone
2. tendon-to-tendon
3. tendon to muscle
A "tear" could either be an actual tear of the tendon that would result in pain, tightness, or inflammation
or a "tear" like feeling brought on by overuse, where no inflammation would normally be present.
Most likely it is a real tear that would signal a pathology, a breakdown i the proper function of the tendon environment.
Supplements for tendons/strains
Glucosamine chondroitin Increases tendon, ligament, and cartilage cell production/proliferation.
Alpha lipoic acid Reduces tendon eating MMP enzymes.
Bromealin Increases tendon cell proliferation and migration.
Grape seed extract Protects tendons.
Curcumin/C3 Helps to reduce inflammation and also lowers catabolic, tendon eating enzymes called MMP.
MSM May help facilitate collagen production and strengthen tendon ECM(extra cellular matrix)
Fair use
"Follistatin, Myostatin, and Muscle Growth: Muscular Dystrophy and Athletics"
How often would you recommend taking glucosamine?
