Greetings of the day
If the pain is of recent origin and is not radiating, it's likely to be muscle spasm. I hope there has been no history of trauma or there is redness or swelling at the site.
I would suggest you the following which will definitely help
1. Hot water fomentation: Soap a napkin in hot water and apply it over the affected affected really within the tolerable limit alternatively hot water bottle may be used
2. Analgesic like Ibuprofen will be helpful along with skeletal muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone will be helpful.

If the pain persists kindly consult your Physician for further assessment.
