Hi,
It might be a neuromuscular pain or musculoskeletal pain. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedics and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
