Everyone heals at a differant pace. If the muscle is still sore after a week you should probably go to physical therapy to recover faster.

Recovering from a muscle strain, or any injury depends on your overall health, the severity of the strain, and your age. A mild strain can take just a few weeks to recover, whereas a severe strain can take up to six weeks or longer to recover. Do not do activities that cause pain, or the recovery time will be longer.

This type of injury may take up to 10 days recovery. Treating immediately with aspirin every 4-6 hours and ice altenating with heat will help minimize the discomfort. Do not resume similar activities until pain is gone if condition does not improve or worsens consult a physician who may prescribe muscle relaxers and/or physical therapy.
