Accepted Answer

Take it easy!: If is just soreness it will get better in a few days. If the pain is still there after 2-3 days, then you may have a sprain/strain and you should visit your doctor for an evaluation.  Always make sure you are using proper form and technique when exercising and don't increase your intensity and frequency too much. Start slow and go slow to avoid injuries. www.otwithmd.com.
