Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The feeling of pop and pain with mild swelling is likely to be due to a muscle tear. The best way to heal is to do a cold compress in the area and give it some rest. You can take a mild pain killer or an oral muscle relaxant also for relief.
It can take 2-3 weeks to heal properly. Avoid any strenuous exercise or painful activities till then.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
