How do you heal a pulled muscle fast?

I pulled the muscle thats on the inside of your leg and it goes from you groan to your mid thigh. I pulled it while doing breast stroke and I have time trials at cross country on Monday and I REALLY want to run top 12! Any ideas?

Take ibuprofen 600 mg 3x's a day to reduce the swelling and pain. Make sure you eat with the ibuprofen or it will mess up your stomach. Put ice the first day then put a heating pad on it and rest. That's about all you can do. Good Luck!

Go to your local health food store and buy a tube of Arnica gel or cream, and some homeopathic sublingual Arnica tablets. Use both as directed. They are safe, and you will be surprised at the positive results.
