This happened to me about 6 weeks ago. Tweaked it hitting on a Tuesday, stopped hitting immediately, then played that Sunday and my very first swing I felt a pop and could barely run. Had to take the next 3 full weeks to heal. It was 2 weeks before I stopped feeling pain when I laughed or coughed. Ibuprofen for swelling and icing seemed to help. Don't push it, it has to heal on its own. If you continually tear that muscle you could look at a potential hernia (basically your insides try to burst thru a tear in your muscle) and that's a guaranteed surgery. I didn't run or do any sit-ups, push-ups, anything. Rest. That's all you can do. Also, you'll feel like you should stretch it out a few days after, DONT!. That's only going to decrease your healing time.
