Are you sure?: Seeing a doctor for an examination and possibly and x-ray is advisable. The pain could be from a muscular etiology as you have indicated. But it can be due to other reasons such as ligaments, tendons, referred from the neck, etc. There is no reason for you to continue in pain when effective treatment is available. Good luck with your studies.
