Please serious answers only
do i try ice or heat now?

Answers:
Keep using heat. Get yourself a heating pad or take a washcloth, get it wet and throw it in the microwave for about a minute and use that as a warm compress. More than likely you slept on it funky and may have pulled a muscle or cramped one up. Heat is good at relaxing muscles. You could always take an over the counter pain reliever (Advil, Aleve) to help.
