Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain that you have described is likely to be due to muscular spasm in the area. Avoid any stressful exercises and do a hot fomentation. Mild pain killers and muscle relaxants may be needed.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
