Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Most likely the pain is caused by some muscle which has been strained. Especially that the pain is present only when you move to particular direction.
Hot bath and ibuprophen should help with the pain. Massage is also a good idea. Symptoms should go away in a week or so.

Regards.
