Hello, it will be better if you also mention the day when this happened and for how long you are having this pain after the accident?considering the incident happened recently 1-2 days back, whether can be muscle spasm due to the accident that's causing pain and limitation to the movements.it should go away after few days on its own if you take enough rest. You can take muscle relaxant like (tab aerosol MR)for it which will give some relief. Or you can use some painkiller spray for it. Do visit a doctor and let him or her have a look at it, if its very serious and need more intensive treatment and if there is need of some clinical tests to be performed to see if any nerve injury is there, you might have to go for an MRI scan.  Till you visit a doctor which you should be doing as soon as you can, do not try to put much pressure on the area by performing movements that are leading to increased pain. You tried massaging the area which is good but that's not going to improve your condition sole. You can take help from a physiotherapist for this. That will help in speedy recovery. Do these things as per your doctor would suggest after doing a physical examination. If any queries after this, feel free to contact. Stay healthy.
