Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you are experiencing. From the information, it is most likely caused by a strain seen the nature of activities you carried out yesterday. It doesn't really need a doctors consultation for now. Pain medications like Tylenol and Motrin for 2-3days would provide enough relief for your symptoms. Only seek further medical attention if this condition persists despite taking the above medications at least 3tims per day for 2-3days. Avoid stretching much right now as the structures need to be rested for recovery. Cold packs would also be of help


I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
