could be muscle pull from origin or insertion. All you need for now is complete bed rest till pain and selling subside. take consultation with ortho specialistand till then take paracetamol tabs thrice a day after meals and , if , more than 12 hours have elapsed start hot fomentation of the area.muscle pull subsides in few days , but if it is rupture of muscle, may need bracing of whole leg or even surgical repair, so consult an orthopedic specialist as early possible
