You obviously strained it from lifting, so you need to give it a rest for a week or two before starting up again. What you need to do is let it have a break for a little while.

When applying ice, you have to leave it on until the area is numb. To get to the numb stage, you have to go through a cold stage, a burning stage, and an achy stage. If you take the ice off too soon, you can actually make the inflammation worse because your body's initial response to being cold is to try to warm it up again, which brings more blood to the area. When numbness happens, it's because the body has decided that it can't warm it up and it's clearing the area of blood and fluids so the cold doesn't spread to the rest of the body. This brings down swelling and moves out some of the inflammation, kickstarting the healing process. Heat is not a good idea for the same reason as taking ice off too soon - it brings more blood in and that makes the inflammation worse. Icy Hot is not meant to treat injuries. It is "for temporary relief of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with arthritis, simple backache, sprains, and strains". Key words here are "temporary" and "minor". The best thing you can do for it is let it rest until it feels normal again, and then ease back into the workout load. Anything less will only make the problem keep coming back indefinitely. You don't want to deal with this forever do you? A little time off now will save you a lot of grief later on. Ice would have worked if you actually left it on long enough.

Don't over-use it before it's healed. That'll only make it worse & lead to re-occurring injuries. (Just to re-inforce that point) Ditto to kdr_cmt. Don’t over-use it before it’s healed.
