Hello. Thank you for posting.

I don't know what you mean by brust? Ice can usually help reduce swelling for a pulled or strained muscle. Heat can be applied when the swelling has lessened and can be soothing. Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers (NSAIDS) such as naproxen or ibuprofen can reduce pain and improve your ability to move around (if you can take these). Rest the strained muscle. Avoid the activities that caused the strain and other activities that are painful. If you are concerned, call your doctor.
