Brief Answer:
Seems muscular pain...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Based on your description, this seems like a muscular pain developed due to benign reasons such as wrong posture. I will suggest you try pain medications for 3-5 days. You may try tab etoshine MR or tab movexx MR twice daily after food. If the discomfort and the difficulties doesn't wane, you need to visit a doctor, orthopedician for local examination.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
