Hi,
Since you have taken analgesic drug and also steroid shot, the problem need to be evaluated by your doctor by examining and by using X ray and MRI scan if necessary.
There may be ligament tear or tendon rupture. Needs further examination and management. For now avoid straining yourself, give rest and continue taking NSAID.
I wish you faster recovery.
