The reality is, your not ready for full workouts. Give it another 5 to 6 days and than start the regular workout with light stretches and light weight, higher reps stuff. Want an increased blood supply to those muscles that had been injured/strained. Break in slowly with the training..Keep the area warm with clothing and a heating lotion,pad, wrap, etc. A strain/rupture/tear recovery needs serious caution at the beginning. Also go by feel of the exercises your are doing.
Excedrin is popped fairly often by training athletes. Good Luck.

Ive had multiple back injuries over my lifting career, Ive come to find that you really have to wait until you are ready and then work around the exercises that seem to aggrevate your back...rows on a machine with a chest pad, leg presses instead of squats, reverse flys on a machine etc....
ibuprofen works good but its temporary
