Likely a strain ...: Avoid activities that make it worse. It is best to rest, but not necessarily in bed...be in the most comfortable position. Get up and walk every hour or so. Try icing (bag of frozen peas) for 20 minutes 3-4 times/day, or try a heating pad. Take analgesic/anti-inflammatory at max dose: 600-800 mg ibuprofen 4X/day or naproxen 550 mg 2X/day. See MD if persists 7-10 days. Good wishes:)
