Pulled muscle in lower back/butt? athlete need help asap!?

I'm an artistic roller skater. Nationals is in 2 weeks and just this wensday i pulled my muscle in my lowerback/hip. It was THAT PAINFUL so i think it was a grade 1 very low pain. I put ice on it then heated it and ive been heating it off and on and babying it yesterday. i REALLY need to practice so inm thankful it wasn't a HORRIBLE SPAIN. but it felt a little better yesterday... but this morning i woke up and its kindof sore because when i sleep laying down its in an akward position and gets sore. I have practice today but debating if i should go or not=[ i really want to bt i dont even know. I'm heating it now and about to take pills. It's not PAINFUL like it happen it just feels more SORE.

    The best thing is ice. If you're going to use heat then put ice on for 20 minutes then heat for 15. Do that every hour. The only thing you can do now since nationals is so close is to just tough it out:/

    Good Luck!

    Fold your legs crossing each other and move your knees slowly like a butterfly and consult a doctor if its not cured by doing this

    carefully try to stretch it (a lot).

    just make sure you go really slow and don't do so much that will make it worse.
