I would recommend using a ibuprofen type gel rubbed into the area and a hot/cold compress. Take it easy for a few days but don't stay completely immobile or it will stiffen up. If you don't see any improvement in 48 hours call your doctor.
You could also call NHS direct if you are in the UK on 0845 46 47 for their advice.
Good luck, I hope you get better soon!

I did this also , after a few days it still hurt and I went to the Dr. and I pulled a muscle in my back , he gave me a cortisone shot and it was good as new, if it stills hurt in a day or day , go see your Dr. i hope you feel better soon .

you should see a chiropractor as soon as possible as they can help correct the alignment in your back. You'll feel better right after the treatment. I've enclosed a link were you can find a chiropractor in your area.

i wouldn't worry to much, sometimes you can cough and pull a muscle, give it a few days, it should be fine.
