Really time, taking it easy, alternating ice/heat, will probably do the trick. There's not really a need for PT for a muscle strain. Also, if you want to do some stretching do it post-exercise - or get in the shower, let the water warm you/muscles up, and then do some slight stretching while in the shower. Muscle strains happen; could be worse, even if not fun.
Cheers.
Motrin/ibuprofen is bad for ulcers and your kidneys, not the liver. Liver is the worry with Tylenol/acetaminophen. Both are potentially lethal.
Agree with OTC being cheaper unless insurance would pay.
Not medical advice! Just entertainment/info value, I could be wrong
