Sounds like it: Stretching a part of the body too far or too quickly will damage something... and thus cause pain. That's the common sense part. So, to figure out which muscle, tendon, ligament, or some combination of such, got damaged and how to help healing, one can start by seeing her primary care doctor. An Urgent Care doctor can also help. Sometimes, formal physical therapy is needed, but not always.
