hi,
Thank-you for providing the brief history.
As you had slipped over or say it was a fall this can be just a mere muscular pain and will go off on its own.
In a safer note taking up an x-ray to rule out any bony pathology should help us more understand the causative factors.
In most cases it is just a muscular and with thorough clinical examination and some diagnostic test if required the drug therapy can be initiated.
