Any strained muscle when stretched gives severe pain. To get relief from the pain and for quick healing: 1. Do hot fomatation at the site. 2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day. 3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen(Motrin) to reduce pain and inflammation. 4. Give adequate rest to the involved muscle group and avoid any movement that causes pain.
