If it's been that long you probably need physical therapy.
They will give you exercises to do to help the muscle. Also ice on 20 minues off 20 minutes a couple of times a day.
Heat can feel good but Ice actually helps.

Protect the strained muscle from further injury. Rest the strained muscle. Avoid the activities that caused the strain and other activities that are painful. Ice the muscle area (15 minutes every hour while awake). Ice is a very effective anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving agent. Small ice packs, such as packages of frozen vegetables or water frozen in foam coffee cups, applied to the area may help decrease inflammation. Compression can be a gently applied with an Ace or other elastic bandage, which can provide both support and decrease swelling. Do not wrap tightly. Elevate the injured area to decrease swelling. Prop up a strained leg muscle while sitting, for example.

I had a strained muscle in my shoulder. Heat and ice at 30 minute intervals a few times a day for a few weeks worked for me. You might try the same.

Ask your doctor to recommend treatment, like a physical therapist.
In the mean time, heat and ice. Take it easy!
