Probably a strain muscle, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern.

I see through the query that you don't have any symptoms such as redness, swelling, or any external bruising.

So, it is very unlikely to be a blood clot.

In my opinion, it is probably a strained muscle.

I suggest to use anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.

I also suggest to use a noninflammatory cream for local application such as Voltaren gel.

Gentle massage and warm compresses can be helpful in relieving the pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
