See below: Put an ice pack on it for 20 minutes ever hour or so for the first day, then heat similarly starting on the next day. If the pain doesn't settle down over the next day, you need to see your physician. Learn to bend your knees to get to the floor, not your waist. All of us who bend over the wrong way eventually get in the same predicament.
