Brief Answer:
As explained below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask A Doctor"
I have gone through the details. It looks like a muscle spasm. It doesn't look serious.
I suggest you apply a heat bag on the affected area followed by a pain relief gel such as volini for half an hour followed by a hot shower. Do this twice daily for a week. Give it rest and drink plenty of water, it will resolve on its own.
You can take Tab. Tylenol or Naproxen twice daily.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss further.
