It can be an attack of arthritis. As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. Consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. Detailed evaluation is required including ultrasound and X-ray. Do a CRP also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
