General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi
It could be due to strain.
You should rest the affected limb.
I prescribe Skeletal muscle relaxant tablet containing Thiocolchicoside to my patients with similar complaints.
Get an X ray and Ultrasound of the affected area.
If you come back with above reports, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health
Regards
