Musculoskeletal pain: This could be from a pulled muscle, cartilage inflammation, tendon strain, bone bruise, etc. Local treatment like ice or heat (whichever feels better) to the area as well as ibuprofen to reduce inflammation is the best initial therapy. If it persists after a few days, or it worsens, see your doctor. A stool softener may help to prevent this and your pharmacist or doctor can recommend one for you!!
