Brief Answer: Seems to be a tear of one of the muscle fibres. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for your query. From description it seems to be a tear of one of the muscle fibres. As it is associated with severe pain , it is better to consult an orthopedician who can examine him , and order a MRI to know the exact cause and provide the proper treatment for it. Meanwhile I advice him to follow the below mentioned guidelines - * Give adequate rest to the involved muscle group and avoid any movement that causes pain * Ice packing once in every 2 hours over the affected area * Moist heat application to relax the muscles * Local application of muscle relaxant gel * Analgesic medications as needed I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
