Hi,
The pain and limp could be there for about a week. Just take a pain killer. If the pain is too severe and unable to walk then get an X-ray. But as you mentioned you were walking, there is no need of an X-ray also. Just pain killer will reduce it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Phanindra Dulipala, Diabetologist
