Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, tendon or ligamentous tear, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormalities.

See a doctor: Start with your primary care or see an orthopedic surgeon. A good history and physical can help sort out the problems that need rest from the ones that need treatment. Important questions are: rest? injury? fever? recent infection? response to medication?
