See your physician: There are many causes including trauma, prolonged immobility, muscle overuse, inflammatory or rheumatological condition, etc. See your physician for a complete evaluation and physical exam, especially because of the progressive nature that you have described. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003178.htm
