I would suggest you to apply an ice cube pack on that for 7.5 minutes thrice a day. This would help to ease off the pain around that area.

Hello Madam,
It is hard to give a diagnosis without a consultation. If your pain came after a lifting or forward reaching injury, then it could be your muscles.
However with the limited history...
- start icing 3 times a day (wrap an icepack in a towel) for 15 minutes.
Get a physiotherapy consultation. We are located at HRBR layout, or look at online consultation.
Next Steps
Medication for inflammation on online consultation with a General Practioner....
icing along the pain areas...
Health Tips
Do not lift, pull or push at this stage
