Hi,
It might be a musculoskeletal pain. As the first line of management, you can try analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief. Also, apply warm compresses and take bed rest for few days. Most probably symptoms will settle in a couple of days.
If symptoms persist, you can consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
