How long ago did you take the advil? Give it time to work and try to relax.
I was going to say there's not much you can do for that type of pain..you're not talking about sores from the wires right?

In the future remember to take advil BEFORE you go for tightening etc. It works better if you don't wait til the pain is really bad.
