Dear Ms XXXX
It is not advisable to do any exaggerated movement or exercise in the presence of pain. Pain is basically protective symptom pointing toward presence of underlying cause.
In the absence of any swelling at the site Or radiation of pain lower down into thighs and buttocks there seems to be no cause for concern. The reason could possibly be due muscle sprain sustained.
Local application of hot water fomentation and analgesic like ibuprofen will provide the much needed relief.
If the pain persists I would suggest you to consult your Physician.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
