Hi,
Since you are having pain, possibility of ligamental injury is more likely. There might be partial tear, not complete tear as force was less. Rest, limb elevation, immobilization, painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs will definitely cure this ligamental injury in 2 weeks time. So don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
