Hi... The pain what you experience could be due to tight front thigh muscle.. Which could happen when you use more of your toe walking... I would like to recommend icing in that painfully area.. Knead gently over the painful area.. Stretch the front thigh muscle bending your knee so that your heel touches your butt muscle and hold it...it will be bit painful but try and hold it as far you can withstand...and ice it after that... Hope this is helpful for you.. Revert back in case you need any further clarification...
