Not fun!: That sounds like a muscle spasm and possible pinched nerve - pretty commonly seen in the urgent care where I work. I would take some ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) and see your chiropractor for an adjustment. The doctor could also prescribe a muscle relaxer or pain medication for you if you go to urgent care.
