There are a few potential reasons why torn muscles might give problems after the initial injury. For one, if the tear is not healing properly, that can lead to inflammation and pain. Additionally, if the muscle is not getting enough oxygen or nutrients due to the tear, that can also cause problems with healing and lead to pain and inflammation. Finally, scar tissue build-up from the original injury can also lead to pain and discomfort.
