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.

Regards,
