So, I somehow managed to pull my left adductor muscle about a day and a half ago. Hurts like hell when I go up stairs or generally do anything that involves it, which turns out is a lot of different things.
Basically, I'm wondering if there is any way to quicken the healing process, because nearly screaming from the pain when I move slightly wrong is getting old.

Rest -- try to stay off it as much as possible
Ice -- Ice it, numb the pain and help take down any inflammation
Compression -- wrap it in an elastic bandage, being sure to take the bandage off so the leg doesn't atrophy
Elevation -- when you're resting, rest with your leg elevated up above your heart
I'd love to relieve some of the pain that way.
