Injury allow healing: Did you squat or kneel? You obviously injured something that you probably should allow time to heal. Anti-inflammatory agent topically as liniment or like Ibuprofen may relieve the pain. Continue regular gentle stretching exercises to increase mobility at the joint. If no improvement or getting worse see a doctor.
