Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a sprained muscle or ligament. For this reason, I would recommend using cold local packs and trying local massage with anti-inflammatory ointments. If the pain persists, consulting with an orthopedist would be necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
