hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
As you mentioned that you suspect it to be a muscle tear. Getting a muscular assessment will put insight to the level of injury. Also, taking up an ultrasonography or the MRI of the muscle involved may help us to dictate the level of the injury.
Usually, small muscle tears heal on its own. Rest of the muscles in the initial stages will help improve the tissue to recover. later on by slow and gradual EXERCISES the strength will be regained back
In case if the muscle tear is big than an Orthopedic surgery may be performed. Post that the same protocol will be applied to regain the muscle function.
I will advice to get check if you are in a doubt of a muscle tear.
