Hi,
Tugging sensations are commonly due to muscle tension or cramping. The use of anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen or the use of a muscle relaxant may help.
A warm compress to the area, 2 to 3 times daily, may also be helpful as well. This can be done for 15 to 20 mins.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
