Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.

It seems to be muscular strain.
To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fomatation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time for the injury to heal.

Hope this will helps you.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
