Always warm up with light weight before doing your routine....don't worry about the girls watching you warm up with their weight!

I'm sure you know this, but when you lift you're destroying muscle tissue. If you haven't been the gym in awhile, or you tried to push yourself too far in terms of weight OR reps, you could've destroyed enough muscle tissue that the healing actually becomes painful.
Don't ice it, that will make it tense up and cramp and be much worse. Also, extreme heat will make it swell cause tissue damage (not severe, but pretty much negates your workout). Just take warm baths every night and if you have a heating pad that you can control the heat on, use that as well.
