Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain that started while doing elliptical machine is likely to be due to a muscle sprain. You need to avoid using elliptical for at least 2 weeks, take rest and start with oral muscle relaxants and a hot compress in the area of pain.
In case the pain is persistent then do consult your orthopedician for a proper treatment.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
