Hydrate, ice&heat: Need to slowly stretch this out. While doing so use heat. Then ice it for about 20 minutes. After ice wrap it with ace bandage. Make sure u replenish u'r electrolytes with Gatorade or something similar. Do the same thing tomorrow. Few times in the day and before bed. If no improvement after a day or two-I mean ZERO improvement, see a sports medicine or Orthopedic doc. Use Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain.
