Thank you for writing to us.
I think that you have a muscle injury. This is a soft tissue injury which is causing the pain and the spasms in you. Here are a few things that you can try which will help you:
Ice the area for 15 mins 3 to 4 times a day
Warm the area by using a hot water bag
If the above do not help, then you can also take ibuprofen cream to help release the pain
Try these for 5 days and then follow up. All the best and wish you a speedy recovery.
I hope this helps you.
