Brief Answer:
You should see a doctor

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

If you have not had any trauma to the area, I'd suggest you see a doctor to rule out a deep venous thrombosis. Most likely, it is a pulled muscle, but you should err on the side of caution.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
