Hi,
This can be a muscle soreness due to muscle pull which might have healed that you are feeling cord like, that's why it is not painful. It should subside with hot fomentation for 3-4 days, but if it persists, see a doctor. He might need ultrasound to diagnose what exactly this is.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rajesh Hingwe, Orthopedic Surgeon
