Suspect you are using muscles you do not usually do. But good to have someone check it out as it occurred after plain ride and may be blood clot.

This could be a DVT or blood clot. You are at risk because of recent surgery and travel. Alternatively, it could just be stiffness from immobility. With this history, it is better to be evaluated by a physician.
