Hi Bell :wave:

I found this info on the NHS website that might be useful...

Most sprains and strains can usually be treated with self-care techniques, such as PRICE therapy - protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation.
Generally, you should keep moving a sprained joint but immobilise a sprained muscle. You should see your GP if you are in severe pain, or if the injury is not improving or getting worse.
Painkillers can be used to help ease any pain, and stronger ones may be prescribed if you have a serious injury.
Read more about how sprains and strains are diagnosed and treating sprains and strains.
Most people will be able to resume normal activities within six to eight weeks. Severe muscle strains may take longer.

Check out the link below too for more info.

Hope you feel better soon.
