Muscle injury?

Many minor overuse injuries to muscles and tendons can be treated at home.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons suggests the RICE method, which includes:
Resting the injured area by avoiding exercise, sports or activities that may aggravate the injury until the pain subsides.
Icing the area with an ice pack (protecting the skin) several times a day for about 20 minutes per session.
Compressing the area by wearing an elastic compression bandage.
