Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. In this acute phase she shiuld should rest, apply cold compresses, keep it elevated and take nonsteroid painkillers such as ibuprofenum or Diclofenac, and if pain is more severe then Tramadol may be considered. When pain and swelling subside then you need to do MRi scan to see what kind of injury exist so that appropriate treatment can be planned. ALso, if pain is untolerable then immobilization cast may have to be applied so you should consult doctor about this option. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
