Update:

After I lowered the saddle, no more pain. Now 4 months later, when I almost had forgotten this incidence, one day (3 days ago) I carried heavy loads of grocery walking only 2-3 blocks, and this pain was back the next morning! So it seems 4 months were not long enough for it to have completely healed, even though I did not feel any pain or discomfort. It is probably hip bursitis, according to this:

"The trochanteric bursa may be inflamed by a group of muscles or tendons rubbing over the bursa and causing friction against the thigh bone. Your Iliotibial band goes from the iliac crest of your pelvis down the outer side of your thigh and attaches just below the knee. A tight Iliotibial band can lead to trochanteric bursitis. This injury can occur with running, walking, or bicycling, especially when the bicycle seat is too high."

Now the pain is gone after 3 days. Obviously, I'll have to be careful for at least half year from now not to carry heavy loads.
