Sprain/strain: It sounds as though you have an inguinal strain, or a sprain/strain and resulting inflammation of part of your quads, specifically the "vastus medialis". Ice, scheduled antiinflammatories and gentle stretching are about all you can do. Unfortunately healing takes time, something you do not have much of regarding this.
