Watch and wait: I wouldn't worry very much. In a young man your age it could be temporary inflammation due to viral illness, injury, medication or drug use. Other things to especially watch for are fever, rash, swelling. Most likely it will go away by itself in a day or so; you could take ibuprofen if you want. If persists, see your doctor/PCP. Unlikely to be early arthritis or connective tissue problem.
