Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain she is having is likely to be due to a soft tissue injury but a bone injury needs to be ruled out after X-ray. Absolute rest and icing the area will help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
