Pain: you probably had a myofascial strain occur. I would try local heat such as a heating pad and try an anti inflammatory such as Aleeve , two tabs once a day with a meal.If no improvement occurs after 5 days see a doctor to get help

Sounds musculoskelet: al in origin! Take an appropriate dose of an antiinflammatory such ibuprofen (10/mg/dose q8h) and rest. If no improvement in 2-3 days see your doc for a workup.
