If icing and advil (ibuprofen): hasn't helped I would make appointment to see doctor this week to make sure you didn't break anything. But muscle strains can take weeks to months to resolve.

Fall with pain: You should get checked by your doctor to find out how severe your injuries are and if you need more treatment.
