Injury....but still working out!

So in my efforts to be Queen Grappler and Jui Jitsu master..... I injured myself!  UGH

I think I over practiced a Jui Jitsu move, which was trying to throw my 13 year old, 211 lbs son.  The move was to position my Right foot on his Left Hip and pushing him to the left as I moved my hips to the right all while trying to mount him so that I could pin him to submission.  This was just practice... after several attempts and lots of frustration on my part, Parker let me take him down and he really tried helping me getting the move correct.  Unfortunately, I should have stopped or used the other leg about half way in between.... OUCH!!  My right butt cheek/Hip hurt soo much and the pain now pulls through to my calf.  I have a doctor's appointment on Friday (earliest appointment) and am sitting on a heating pad and now taking pain reliever (which I was refusing before yesterday).  With my right leg propped up on my medicine ball.

Since I think I should be laying off the exercise until I know whats going on, I am doing upper body workouts at the gym and home. At home I use dumbbells and do a variety of curls along with stomach crunches.  I hope soon to be back on track!

Any tips on how to heal this injury.... I WELCOME ANY AND ALL!!!

Big Hugz,
