Hi.. Complete rest, hot water bagging/fomentation - these simple measures are equally effective when compared to the pills.. Continue with the pills with the above medications, for better improvement..

Hello.Welcome to HCM forum.You have pulled your muscles resulting in muscle spasm.You have to take some muscle relaxant like chlorzoxazone along with anti-inflammatory drugs.Do some local hot fomentation and adequate rest.You should not go for six flags.Thanks and good luck.
