Brief Answer:
Can be a muscle spasm.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain that you have can be due to a muscle spasm. This should decrease with rest Advil hot compress and an oral muscle relaxant. You can consult an orthopedician in case the pain is persistent.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
