well I am an idiot right along with you as I know better and do it all the time. You need to rest it. Some ibuprophin and a heating pad will help. ...st
It's likely that you've caused some swelling, which is pressing on a nerve.
I'm all too familiar with the type of pain you're talking about, it gets pretty intense :\

To have a go at treating it yourself, get some anti-inflammatory gel, Feldene gel works wonders.
It shocked me that a gel was able to provide such incredible relief.
By the time you go for the MRI, you'll probably be back to normal again.
Good luck!
