Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

The pain is likely related to soft tissue injury to that area. It may have occurred due to the heavy lifting that you were doing.

If you have no history of allergies or problems with anti inflammatory pain killers then you can consider using them for pain relief. These would include medications such as ibuprofen, aspirin, cataflam, voltaren, celebrex. These should be used on a full stomach to reduce any irritation to the stomach.

If the pain continues despite using the medication appropriately then you should consider a visit to your doctor.

I hope this helps
