Brief Answer:
A pulled muscle.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic.
From your description I think this is likely a pulled muscle that you are experiencing. Your age and lack of previous medical history would suggest that it is nothing serious.
My recommendation would be to take paracetamol and ibuprofen if the pain is severe. If you need further reassurance then see your doctor for a full examination but I sm sure it is nothing to worry about.
I hope this is helpful. Of you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Dr K A Pottinger,
