Brief Answer:
Need not to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXX,
Thanks for posting the query to HCM,

I have gone through your query, By your complaints it doesn't seems to be much injured. But you should not give the heat therapy in the first week of the injury or any muscle sprain. Give the ice fomentation 3 to 4 times a day. Continue the Advil for 3 more days. Do not use any topical application except ice. You will be better in couple of days. Wait for a week. If the pain still persists then consult the doctor to get physically examined.

Any query do follow up.

Take care.
