Chosen Answer:
Well first you need to know if your legs are just sore from overexersion or if you really have a pulled muscle. A pulled muscle is very painful and sometimes requires medical attention. You would need to not put too much strain on it.
On the other hand, sore muscles are caused by a build up of lactic acid from heavy exercise. If you are just sore, be sure the next day you do some kind of physical activity to reduce the lactic acid or you will be hella sore day 2.
Some things to try: heating pad or ice pack. I hate being cold so I prefer the heating pad. A rub like Icy hot or bengay messaged in works well. Drink lots of water. Pain relievers are helpful. And finally remember- No pain, no gain.

first and foremost, take it easy – muscles get stronger from rebuilding themselves after such light damage. You’ll heal better if you eat right – nothing fancy, just spend a second pondering the food pyramid when you open up the fridge – and take some stress of your legs (NOT ALL OF IT – you need light activity) – I wouldn’t advise running unless you have to, etc. If you have a friend that is particularly good at massaging, go to him/her – that will make it feel a LOT better. Talk to your couch about it as well – a good couch will know that if you’re training too hard, you should ease up a bit.
Also, if the damage is serious, it will hurt very badly. You seem to be just sore, so you shouldn’t worry about doctors and whatnot.
And for any situation, not just this – avoid painkillers – they mess up athletes far more than they help them.
