A strain is an injury to the body of a muscle or attachment of a tendon, often caused by overstretching or overuse. Overuse tendinitis is specifically an inflammation of the tendon caused by overuse. Myalgia refers to muscle pain or tenderness without an injury, and myorrhexis is a complete tear of a muscle.
