Sprains and strains are characterized by pain of varying severity based on the severity of the muscle or tendon injury. Swelling or redness over the affected area that may at times be painful to touch may also be noticed soon after. The ability to bend or extend the muscle or the associated joint may be reduced due to the pain and the swelling.
