Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
From your description it seems to be a muscular spasm. Sometimes such spasms do take time to heal. You can take mild pain killers in combination with a muscle relaxant for relief. Dong a hot fomentation regularly will also help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
