Spasm or strain of the muscles is likely to be the cause. This usually results from wrong or heavy lifting, or following a sudden improper movement or maintained wrong posture.
Muscle spasm alone can cause the pain which can be an unidentified cause.
In these cases, self care and avoiding the precipitating cause will lead to a gradual but clear improvement in the pain. Home treatment includes the use of analgesics, cold or hot therapy.
Rest for maximum two days is also beneficial.
If these measures fail to relief the pain or to improve symptoms in 48 hours, you should visit your doctor for better evaluation and for exclusion of other causes that need specific therapy.
