Default Re: weird injury

Sounds like a muscle strain or pull from the cramp.
This is a rule of thumb on how you should treat pulls and strains.
If its bad, Ice it for the first 72 hrs, then heat starting on day 4 with mild stretching on day 4.

As far as training other muscles; if there is pain, don't do it.
Take a few days off and ease back into it.
Do not train the injured muscle for at least a week, you must go by feel.
There is no exact / precise way to go about this. It has more to do with common sense
than rigid set guidelines.
