Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
I would suggest you to repeat the x ray and get digital x ray this time. This will give us better information regarding damage and we can come to conclusion if there is any bony injury or it is a ligament strain. Nevertheless both injuries can cause pain for months so my suggestion is that if there is no fracture then apply compression bandage and Take Brufen tablet. Also apply hot water fomentation.
