Hello,
From symptoms you are presenting it looks like you have strained your muscle, which is why it must have gone in spasm.
For now :
1. Rest ( lying down)
2. Ice the painful area ( use can use a cold pack/ice bag)
10-12 mins/4-5 times/ day
Next Steps
Get back to me at end of today with your symptoms to know whether it was just spasm or whether there is a nerve involvement.
Health Tips
No lifting weights
No bending over
