take some pain medicine and the best thing to do is use an ice pack for about 15min every hour or so, but if the pain gets worse you should go to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would do 15 minutes hot pack and 15 min cold packs ever 2 hours and take Tylenol for pain and rest the leg!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I prefer aspirin to tylenol for a muscle sprain!. Also, moist heat not iceWww@Answer-Health@Com
