Most likely no...: It's most likely the result of the minor trauma you described; however, to be certain it may be best to visit a physician to be sure.

Needs exam: The commonest painful anal lesion is hemorrhoids and anal fissure. Herpes genitalis, genital warts and syphilis have to be considered and can be easily diagnosed on examination.
