Hello,
The symptoms can be related to a muscle cramp. I suggest to use anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 40 mg three times a day to relieve the swelling. I also suggest to use Voltaren gel for local application. Cold compresses can also be helpful in relieving the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
