Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your update.
Mostly this pain is due to muscle strain.
I suggest you anti inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen with paracetamol combination twice a day after food.
I also suggest you Hot water bag fomentation to relieve your pain.
I also suggest you topical analgesics like Brugel.
Sometimes overuse of joints can cause ligament strain.
I suggest you decrease distance of jogging and you can do alternative exercises like aerobics or other physical exercises.
Stretching exercises will help you.
If you will not feel better after 5 days then I suggest you visit a doctor for clinical examination and get blood tests like vitamin D and B 12 and any other blood tests if needed.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
