Well, you don't say which part of your leg is troubling you, but a pulled muscle is usually caused by suddenly increasing the workload on the muscle. It can also be that you have moved differently - ie. taking the muscle beyond it's normal range of movement.
Remember muscles are different from ligaments and tendons - luckily muscle tends to heal faster due to better blood supply.
RICE is something you can try: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation

See a chiropractor and massage therapist.
Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

There are drugs w/c can reduce the pain when these happens. You cannot fix this fast. Because the muscles will definitely sore. This may take One to Two weeks to have complete recovery

lack of oxygen
lactic acid being built up due to anaerobic respiration
make sure u breathe in deeply after sudden exercising
make sure you warm up before exercising and warm down after exercising.
if you have a muscle cramp
just try not over stressing it, instead try walking and some breathing exercises
