Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it seems to be due to muscle sprain and OTC analgesics like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen along with muscle relaxants like Orphenidine or Tizaindine may be needed. If persists, ultrasound abdomen for other conditions should be done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
