Hi,

I do not think the pain you are having now is related to hitting it to the pipe 10 years ago. Very likely by what you describe this is a muscular pain. I would recommend you to take paracetamol and ibuprofen to help with it and if no improvement then you can see your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
