Brief Answer:
Looks like muscular pain
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
It sounds like muscular pain. Another possibility is of impending herpes, in which pain and burning starts early and lesions appear later.
However, in general, in such situations, if there is local tenderness, that is pain on pressing the area as suggested by you, we primarily treat this as muscular pain.
Since you walk daily, that can also cause an unnoticed stretching or jerk causing muscular pain.
I would recommend you to apply Diclofenac containing gel like Volini over it and do hot compresses over the affected area.
If you don't get relief, you GP would add up an oral pain killer or muscle relaxant like Aceclofenac / Diclofenac for further relief.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
