There may be some injury or there can be excessive pressure on that area while sitting or standing or getting up after sitting. Apply ice and give rest.

Your problem might be associated with raised uric acid levels. However, a short course of NSAIDs( Aceclofenac & Paracetamol)might be tried initially. If the pain and swelling persist after 14 days, further evaluation and clinical examination will be needed.
