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

Question

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.

Sounds like sciatic nerve and hip flexor issues.  Try some of the stretches at the links below after your muscles are warm.  Slow and steady at first, increasing as your pain tolerance permits.  Crushed or cubed ice in a freezer bag wrapped in a towel.  Sit on it if necessary for 15 to 20 minutes, then off for about 10 for as many reps as you can handle.  Move the ice to the hip and low back as needed.  Hot epsom salts baths twice daily, the last being before you go to bed.  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.
