Hi,

Possible a muscle pull or stretch most likely.

Local application of heating pad, analgesic spray or ointment with anti-inflammatory medicines as Diclofenac or Ibuprofen will help out the issue for sure.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel,
