Brief Answer:
Most probably muscular spasm

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for getting back with the answers. I have gone through them.

Most probably this pain is because of muscular spasm. I would suggest you to take following measures. Hopefully they will resolve your problem. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following measures:

- naproxen twice a day for 5 days.
- avoid lifting heavy weight till you become healthy again.
- ask some family member to do oil massage. It will also give soothing effect.

If your symptoms persists then please share your location so that i can find pain management units in you area where you can visit for further workup & physiotherapy.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wishing you good health !!
