Brief Answer:
Hot compress, naproxen and juicy fruits should help
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Muscle pulls can be associated with electrolyte imbalance. I would insist you to take juicy fruits like citrus fruits. They contain plenty of potassium which should help in proper functioning of the muscles and in reduction of the cramps. You also need to increase total fluid (water) intake and to take plenty of ORS (oral rehydration solution) to replenish the lost fluids and salts. Application of heat compress should help in relieving the muscle spasms. You may take Aleve (naproxen) 500 mg tablet as per requirement (preferably in full stomach).
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
