After a week???
I was stuck in bed with a horrible pain as soon as I stood up. Couldn't do shit. Was supposed to fly back to Europe from New York, but had to cancel my flight because I couldn't even stand up long enough to pass through airport immigration and security. The one week Manhattan hotel bill I had planned for got extended to three weeks before I was ready to travel.
A few weeks later I was just fine, and now I am playing tennis (decent level, not old man's doubles), pulling 410 pound deadlifts, riding bikes, and of course, engaging in as agile sex as possible. No pain ever. Except when my daughter accidentally kicks me while playing in the pool...
Take it easy. Give it time. One week is nothing. My doc said it'll take three months till fully healed. In my case he was spot on.
Use it as a reference, a target, a benchmark.
also get back to lifting weights.
