My Skin On The Left Side Of My Hip Was Tender To The Touch And My Stomach Felt A Little Swollen. What Does The Finding Mean?

I was mowing the lawn and picking up branches and limbs last Sunday. I came home and I was exhausted and sore all over. Monday I noticed that my skin on the left side of my hip was tender to the touch and that the side of my stomach felt a little swollen. I thought maybe I pulled a muscle or something. I also lifted 2 cases of water that day and some groceries after mowing the lawn. I was cleaning the house today and it was hurting more so I put a ben gay patch on it and it felt better. Now my stomach seems even more swollen. There isnt any pain just the skin is sore. I have fibromyalgia and thought that my have something to do with it. can you make any suggestions?
my email is YYYY@YYYY . I am female and 57 years old.
