How Can A Muscle Pull On The Back Be Treated?

I have pulled a muscle in the side of my back. I was cleaning out a lower drawer when this happened. I have a ThermaCare Heat Wrap and Aleve Direct Therapy and 2 Aleve tabletI still did not get an answer to my question until I got to the part where MONEY was involved. I do not know if I have the same doctor but I am Southern and it polite to mention that at first. I have listed Aleve Direct Therapy Ten Device, TheraCare lower back wrap and 2 Aleve tablets for lower muscle and I only received you are doing fine . I asked if this doctor had any suggestions. I was about to list my medications when the money pop up. Hope you can give me an answer. Thanks!I have strained a muscle in the left side of my back while bending down to clean. I have a TkermCare Heat for lower back and Aleve DirectTherapy Ten Device. In addition I just took 2 Aleve. I am in so much pain, but a close relative has passed away and I must attent the service. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks so much. I am a retired teacher and taught biology, and all the high school sciences-thought that might help
