yeah don't strain it even more because it will just make it worse. try massaging it and putting icy hot on it. take some ibuprofen to ease the pain. try icing it and then putting heat on it (switch every 20 minutes) maybe even go get a professional massage and have them massage it out for you. but thats about all you can do. follow the RICE rules- rest, ice, compression, elevation.

If the muscle has not healed (or virtually healed) there is unfortunately nothing you can do. Moreover, even if it is almost healed, I still would not use it in three days. Thats a lesson I learned the hard way... straining a pulled muscle before it is 100% healed most often just puts you right back to square one. And the problem is, pulled muscles often give no warning... one minute they are ok-ish, the next you only have one working leg.
Here is an article that mentions some things you can do for these kinds of injuries (before and after):

But again... its nothing that will work in 3 days.
