Hi and welcome to HCM
The fact that your pain is occuring with movements indicates a muscle strain. Any strained muscle when stretched gives severe pain.
I advice you to follow the below mentioned guidelines -
* Give adequate rest to the involved muscle group and avoid any movement that causes pain * Local application of muscle relaxant gel * Analgesic medications as needed Gradual & gentle stretching exercises
Hope this will helps you. Take care.
