Brief Answer:
Muscular spasm.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
You seem to be suffering from Severe Muscular Spasm.
For muscular pain i advise following:
1. A combination of pain killer and muscle relaxant containing Diclofenac and Thiocholchiside.
2. To do hot fomentation of the affected area.
3. To apply Diclofenac ointment locally.
4. To get physiotherapy done particularly Ultrasonic heat massage.
Your pain would start getting better in 5 days.
If it doesn't help, i would advise you to get:
1. Xray LS Spine
2. Xray Both Pelvis with SI joints.
3. ESR, CRP
4. Rheumatoid Factor.
I hope it helps.
Stay Healthy.
