it could be anyhing. I wish I could be more helpful. Its best to see your family doctor and then maybe an orthopoedic surgeon. It could just be inflammation, or maybe you injured yourself unknowingly and need surgery.

You don't say what type of pain it is. If it's a dull achy kind of pain it could be arthritis. But if it's a sharp stabbing or tearing type of pain, you may have injured something. I have had both types, and it turned out that the sharp pain was caused by a torn cartilage. I had it surgically repaired by an orthopedic surgeon using an arthroscope, and it worked really well, I was up and walking and driving in 2 weeks.
The only way you will know for sure is to see your doctor, you may need an X-ray or an MRI, and then they'll be able to tell what the problem is and how to treat it.
Good luck, hope you feel better soon.
