If you ever had an arm muscle strain, how long did it take you to get better?

prednisone? for a muscle strain?
I've had strains, pulls, small tears, all my life. . i should stretch more often
Ibuprofen + ice for 20 minutes 2-4 times a day for three days. .
I use frozen lima bean bags, because I hate lima beans. .
heat 3-4 times a day for 20 minutes for the following 3-4 days. .
total recovery time 4-6 weeks for minor,
6-8 weeks for larger,
depending upon location and severity.
If this is your first then gauging by your pain level, unable to tell the severity
