Pulled muscle: You likely pulled/strained a muscle. Arnica can be helpful. Gently stretch to keep it from stiffening, but do not stretch to the point of pain. Ice decreased inflammation and pain, while heat promotes blood flow and healing.

Muscle strain: Specific medical question about you depends on more history and physical exam findings. You should discuss with your doctor. As a general rule a common cause of such a complaint would be a muscle strain and is best dealt with by rest and will often slowly improve.
