Hi,

It can be simple muscle fatigue, over-exertion or tendonitis, sprain, so need physical examination by an orthopedist and then if needed specific tests can be done. You may apply ice pack or frozen peas for 20 mins at that area, if swelling then compression bandage, if skin is not broken and not applying other topical and not covered with bandage then only apply topical Capzasin P .025% or Zostrix.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
