General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
From your history, an inflammatory swelling an abscess or a fracture/dislocation would have to be excluded. Each of these condition requires different specialist management, and for the diagnosis, this ought to be examined physically by your family physician/orthopedic surgeon in your area along with some related investigations. Therefore, I would suggest you to take appointment with the concerned doctors in your area for an appropriate management. Till that you could take an anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
