NICE: anatomy "sense"....it may be that muscle strained/sprained by swinging (on what??) In any case a strain/sprain will last for 7-10 days giving pain when the muscles involved are USED. Applying ICE at first (24-48 hours) then HEAT to increase circulation in the area and promote healing is the best advice I can provide on-line Hope it helps! Dr Z
