When sitting keep your leg elevated, which can reduce swelling. Use ice. When a thigh muscle is pulled, swelling may occur. Applying ice to the thigh for 15 minutes a few times a day may reduce the swelling and the pain. Wrap an ice pack in a clean towel and place it on the part of the thigh muscle which is pulled. Avoid putting ice directly on the skin which can cause injury.
Ice the strain, especially within the first 72 hours. Ice a pulled muscle every 3 hours, for 15 minutes at a time. Alternating ice and heat every 15 minutes can also help with the pain, but if time doesnât allow for such intensive treatment, at least strive to ice it every few hours. Take an anti-inflammatory. In the first few days, an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen can help reduce swelling and inflammation of the injured groin muscle. Take the anti-inflammatory according to medicine or doctor instruction. Once the pain is under control, incorporate stretches.
