And, for some reason, some people's muscles heal slower than others (my strains ususally take like, three days to heal). What I do is move around alot. It sounds dumb, but it helps me stop concentrating on the pain. Nothing like walking on stairs, but try running arond, or if you have a pool, go in that-it really helps.
Or, you could take some tylenol if you have any.
I say it's an excuse to be a couch potato, haha.
Maybe try a cold shower? :)
