Hamating: Rest the muscle, use ice if first 48hrs, take an anti inflammatory drug. Resume workouts at a lower load once the pain reolves.

RICE: You should start with rice as a home treatment. After 48-72 hours you may switch to heat (instead of ice). As your pain starts to subside you may add stretching as tolerated, and massage. Once pain is gone, then gently return to activity as your strength and flexibility may need time to recovery after the injury, and you don't want to further injure yourself by attempting to go "all out" to fast.
