I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a pulled muscle. I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest using a magnesium supplement for muscle relaxation. I also recommend warm compresses for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
