Brief Answer:
A minor soft tissue injury likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
From the description provided it seems to be a minor soft tissue injury. The stiffness and mild pain will gradually relieve with rest, hot compress and pain killers. If there is no pain on weight bearing on the leg and walking then any serious injury is not likely. You can wait and self monitor the area for a few days. It is likely to improve on its own.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
