Pulled tendon

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to hcm.
This is probably caused by pulled muscle or tendon injury and you dont need to be worried since it usually improves on its own after short period of time. You just need to rest,apply cold compresses and take nonsteroid painkillers. Wish you good health. Regards
