Possibly Spasm: Without a history of trauma you may just have a strain or muscle spasm in that area. Make an appointment with a HealthTap provider for further evaluation.

Likely muscular : Most likely your symptoms are from muscle spam or inflammation. Local heat may help. If you suspect anything more, then don't hesitate to get an in-person checkup. Hope that helps.
