Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

The cause of pain is likely to be musculoskeletal pain associated with muscle spasm. If hot water fomentation and analgesic like Ibuprofen does not reduce the pain , would suggest you consult physician for further assessment.

Take Care

Best Regards
