Hello,
As this pain can be due to the tight clothing and muscle spasm. Most people tend to use tight clothing and that may allow the muscle to undergo shortening and spasm, which may lead to sharp shooting pain or a dull ache.
Doing simple breathing exercises, chakrasana, stretching exercises, should help give relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
