more than likely you pulled a muscle. That's why your Experiencing so much pain.
If you have access to a Jacuzzi or hot tub I would recommend to use it every day. If not Take a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts. Soak for 30 minutes. The Epsom salts will help eliminate the lactic acid that forms on the muscles from over exertion.
Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles.
Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously. You must drink beyond your thirst to get the benefits of hydration.
I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day.
500mg of calcium and magnesium, taken twice daily, can help with diminishing the pain.
Advil liqui capsules work very quickly on pain. Take them four times daily.

Sounds bad you need to get checked.
Are there no free clinics in your area?.
Try your treatment centre for contact numbers.
