dear sir,
you did not mention your age,from how many days you are having this,is there any history of injury?
however it seems to be a muscular pain,just give hot fomentation,apply diclofenac gel,take anti inflammatory medicines, and take physiotherapy sessions,hope your pain will be ok within a week.

I am 27 years old. It was sudden I had terrible sleep because of anxiety last night probably only slept 4 1/2 hrs and then It just came out of nowhere while I was trying to get back to sleep. It has been painful for 1hr 1/2 now hurts to breath deep makes my back feel stiff when I do. I just started taking birth control 3 days ago I don't know if that has anything to do with anything. I also have had "extreme stress" as the last Dr. Had told me and I had high blood pressure the one time they had taken it in January.
