Hello,

It may be due to some pulled muscles or nerve and tendon involvement. You can take a analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief.
If the symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedics and get evaluated. You may require an MRI scan for evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
