I am assuming it's a sudden bout of intense unaccustomed exercise. If that's the case, you are suffering from delayed onset muscular soreness (DOMS).
Next Steps
Repeat exercise with lesser intensity and duration. Incorporate stretching and ice fomentation. Please avoid pain killers, it will reduce adaptive changes in the muscle.
