Hi and welcome to HCM
The pains that you have described are likely to be due to a muscular spasm and stiffness.
To relieve the stress and spasm, do regular stretching and strengthening exercises. A good massage daily twice a day and then hot fomentation . But do hot fomentation after the application of massage, also take anti inflammatory ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day after meals. Regular stretching exercise will be helpful.
Application of local analgesic gel on the area will relieve the spasm.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
