pulled muscle?

I was swimming this morning, when mid stroke I felt a pain in my upper back- just below my right shoulder blade. It restricts my motion significantly and hurts if I breathe deeply. I’ve tried stretching for over an hourWHat should I do?Does it help to go to a physical therapist or chiropractor or is this something one should just ride out?

    I sustained a bad fall yesterday. Two x-rays showed no breaks, only a scrape on the outer edge of my hip bone. I cannot place much weight on my left leg. The reason seems to be the muscle at the top inside of my leg. By touch, the point the muscle has the most pain is just to the left of my crotch when I press up against what I think is my pelvis. It is very painful to the muscle to put weight on that leg. Any advice as to treatment and to the longevity of my recovery? I am an American living in a third-world country and the medical help here is typcially below standard. The doctor told me to stay off my feet as much a possible for two weeks, and for now use cold compresses. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. J. Colby
