What is the best to use on a pulled muscle - heat or cold pads?
As I got out of bed this morning I pulled the muscle underneath my right shouldeblade. It is really painful and I've got a busy day to day so any pain relief tips would be most grateful.

I'd say cold- it will reduce swelling and inflammation. Or take ibuprofin.
Yes I too would suggest an anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen.
Definitely cold, to reduce the swelling as Scarlett says. Don't forget that you can take Paracetamol and Ibuprufen together if you need extra help with the pain (normal dose of both)
