Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Doing hot fomentation and applying a muscle relaxant gel on the area will be helpful to relieve the spasm and tightness.
Taking mild pain killers and muscle relaxants will bring a short term relief. Regular stretching exercise will be helpful. If this persist I suggest you to get it evaluated by an orthopaedician.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
