Take ALEVE (naproxen): Hopefully you only over stretched some muscles ? Try to take aleve (naproxen) twice a day for few days, if not getting better see a doctor.

Stomach strain: Start with ice to the pulled muscle and take something over the counter for pain like Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen (unless you have another health reason not to take the types of meds). I would also feel the abdominal wall and make sure there is not a hernia. If it is a really painful hernia, this should be evaluated by a physician today.
