Hi,
It can be due to neuropathic pain due to nerve impingement due to over weight. We have to rule out conditions like contusion or tiny fractures as well.
As of now, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Diclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
