may be due to muscle sprain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, it may be due to muscle sprain or overstretching.
For pain, you can take tab. motrin i.e. Ibuprofen 400 mg every 8 hourly. You can apply diclofenac gel or ointment with heating pads. These medications should be available over the counter.
Take proper rest and restrict movements.
