HI
Well come to HMC
Such a pain may be nonspecific and could be due to muscular spasm initially this can be managed with some analgesic medicine if and only if this is unbearable else just wait for some time and try to maintain good posture if this persistence then it may need some investigation with clinical examination, else this is nothing to worry, for the pain you can have Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day, hope this information helps, take care.
